Shubman Gill's Historic Double Century Puts India Ahead in Edgbaston Test

Shubman Gill's remarkable double century has vaulted Team India into a dominant position against England at Edgbaston, as the visitors wrapped up day two of the second Test by taking three early wickets.

Gill's unbeaten 265, complemented by Akash Deep's early strikes, helped India post an imposing 587, leaving England struggling at 77/3, with Joe Root (18*) and Harry Brook (30*) seeking to stabilize the innings.

England, tasked with overcoming a sizeable first-innings deficit, was rocked early as Akash Deep dismantled the top order. Shubman Gill's historic innings, marked by expansive shot-making, rewrote records and cemented India's foothold as England grapples with a challenging target.
