Shubman Gill, captain of the Indian Test team, on Thursday, hit a double century on the second day of the second Test against England. As captain, he made history by scoring a double century in the second Test match of his career. He became the first Indian captain to score a double century in England.
Tilakratne leaves Dilshan behind
Gill achieved great achievement by scoring a century in England. He became the first Asian captain to score a double century in SENA countries (South Africa, England, New Zealand and Australia). Apart from this, he also became the batsman to score the highest score in army countries. He overtook former Sri Lankan batsman Tilakaratne Dilshan in this case. Prior to Gill, Dilshan had the record for scoring the most runs in these countries. He scored 193 runs at Lord’s in 2011.
Indian Test captains scoring double centuries included in the list
Gill has joined the list of Indian Test captains scoring double centuries. Kohli has scored a double century in Tests seven times while being captain, while Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, Gavaskar, Sachin, Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Gill have scored a double century once as captain.
