New captain Shubman Gill was hailed Monday for leading from the front after India recorded their maiden Test win at Edgbaston to level the series against England 1-1.
England were second-best in all departments in a heavy test loss to India at Edgbaston after they misread the pitch and made the wrong decision at the toss, coach Brendon McCullum said after his team lost by 336 runs on Sunday.
Akash Deep took 10 wickets in a Test match for the first time as India thrashed England by 336 runs at Edgbaston on Sunday for a series-levelling win.
Following his commanding 269 in the first innings, Gill also became the first batsman in 148 years of Test history to make score of 250 and 150 in the same match.
After India captain Shubman Gill had scored another masterful century at Edgbaston, India fast bowlers Akash Deep and Mohammed Siraj blew away England's top order.
India captain Shubman Gill scored a superb maiden Test double-century before stand-in fast bowler Akash Deep reduced England to 13-2 at Edgbaston on Thursday with two wickets in consecutive balls.
It was not long before the 25-year-old Gill, in just his second Test as captain, set a new record for the highest score by an India batsman in a Test in England, surpassing the great Sunil Gavaskar's 221 at the Oval back in 1979.
India dominated the opening session on day two of the second test against England on Thursday as skipper Shubman Gill put a price on his wicket to guide the tourists to 419-6 at lunch but Ravindra Jadeja fell short of a second century at Edgbaston.
Gill’s unbeaten 114 on the opening day at Edgbaston on Wednesday followed his 147 in the first Test at Headingley, placing him alongside all-time greats such as Don Bradman, Garfield Sobers, and Mohammad Azharuddin.

Gill's 114 not out was the cornerstone of India's 310-5 at stumps on the first day of the second Test, with Yashasvi Jaiswal contributing a typically entertaining 87.
