Shubman gill test centuries: Shubman Gill has scored a century in the Birmingham Test. With this, he has done a historical act. He has now become only the fourth Indian captain who has scored a century in both his first Test matches after becoming captain. Let us know that Gill had earlier scored 147 runs in the first innings of the Leeds Test against England. He has also joined the players who have scored a century in 3 consecutive matches in the Test matches between India and England.

First, we look at that record of Shubman Gill, in which Virat Kohli is still ahead of him. Actually Gill has become the fourth Indian captain who scored a century in both his first Test matches as soon as he became captain. Before him, Vijay Hazare and Sunil Gavaskar had scored a century in both Tests after becoming captain. At the same time, Virat Kohli scored a consecutive century in his first 3 Test matches after becoming captain. If Gill scored a century in his next Test too, then you will match Virat in this matter.

The first Indian to do this in 35 years

In the Test history of India and England, Shubman Gill has also joined the players who have scored a century in three consecutive Indo-England Test matches. He has become the only third Indian captain who has scored 2 consecutive centuries against England as an Indian Test captain. Before that, Vijay Hazare did this in 1951-52 and Mohammad Azharuddin did this in 1990. Now Shubman Gill has become the third Indian captain to do so after 35 years.
