Twitter Reactions: Shubman Gill becomes first Asian to smash 700 or more runs in a series in England

Indian captain Shubman Gill added another feather to his hat in the ongoing series against England. He became the first Asian batter to complete 700 runs in a series in England. It is worth noting that Gill is in the form of his life scoring back to back centuries in both innings of the second Test which included a double century. 

After India lost Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sai Sudharsan’s wickets early, the onus fell on Gill and KL Rahul to do the patch work. Both the batters together stitched a 188 run partnership for the third wicket before Rahul was outdone on 90 runs by Ben Stokes. Gill on the other hand, dug his base deeper and is eying for a big inning with India still to clear the deficit. He is accompanied by Washington Sundar in a bid to keep the left and right combination going in the middle. 

As Gill achieved the rare feat by an Asian batter, twitter users went berserk in praising the new Indian Test captain for his skill and impeccable consistency. It is also worth noting that Gill’s 269 run knock in the second Test was the highest score by any Indian captain in England overtaking Mohammed Azaharuddin’s 179 runs knock.
