Shubman Gill Creates History with 150+ in England Test
On Thursday (July 3), Shubman Gill made history by becoming only the second Indian captain to score 150 or more runs in a Test innings in England. He reached this landmark at Edgbaston in Birmingham during the first innings of the second Test. Gill got to 150 with a single on his 263rd ball.
The first Indian captain to do this was Mohammad Azharuddin, who scored 179 runs in Manchester back in 1990. If Gill scores at least 30 more runs, he will break Azharuddin’s record for the highest score by an Indian captain in a Test in England. So far, only Sunil Gavaskar and Rahul Dravid have scored double centuries for India in England. Gill will be hoping to join them.
If he reaches 200 runs, he will be the first Indian captain to score a double century in SENA countries (South Africa, England, New Zealand, Australia). Right now, Virat Kohli is the only Indian captain with a double century outside India. He scored 200 runs against the West Indies at North Sound in 2016.
Highest scores by Indian captains in Tests in England:
| Player | Score | Venue | Year |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mohammad Azharuddin | 179 | Manchester | 1990 |
| Shubman Gill | 150* | Birmingham | 2025 |
| Virat Kohli | 149 | Birmingham | 2018 |
| MAK Pataudi | 148 | Leeds | 1967 |
| Shubman Gill | 147 | Leeds | 2025 |
