Shubman Gill surpasses Virat Kohli's 2018 record in the ongoing Test series against England, becoming the highest-scoring Indian captain in a Test series in England.  

Shubman Gill became the fifth Indian player to hit a Test hundred against England at Edgbaston, Birmingham. India captain Gill achieved the massive feat during the ongoing second match against England after scoring an impressive double century. Notably, India haven't won any match at Edgbaston in Test cricket history so far and they have a great chance to create history.  Here's is the list of Indian batters who have scored centuries at Edgbaston:

Shubman Gill delivered a historic performance in the second Test against England at Edgbaston, scoring a monumental 269 off 387 balls. His knock shattered multiple records, including the highest Test score by an Indian captain, surpassing Virat Kohli’s 254*, and the highest by an Indian batter outside Asia, breaking Sachin Tendulkar’s 241*. Gill also became the first Asian captain to score a double century in SENA countries and the youngest Indian skipper after MAK Pataudi to achieve the feat. His innings marked the highest Indian score in a World Test Championship match and firmly cemented his legacy in Indian cricket history.

Shubman Gill’s 269 in Birmingham belongs to the last kind. He made a flurry of records in this innings. Gill now tops the elite list with the highest-ever Test score by an Indian on English soil.

The Indian cricket team will start a new era in Tests with a five-match series against England, starting June 20. With Shubman Gill as the new Test captain and Rishabh Pant as vice-captain, India are all set to enter the transition phase after the retirements of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Ravichandran Ashwin.
