First player ever to score a double century and a 150 in the same Test match.
Shubman Gill
Birmingham, July 5: India captain Shubman Gill became the first batsman in Test history to make scores of 250 and 150 in the same match as the tourists set England a mammoth target of 608 to win in Birmingham on Saturday.
Gill followed his first-innings 267 in the second Test at Edgbaston with another superb knock of 161 off just 162 balls.
By taking his tally in this match to 430 runs, the 25-year-old Gill became only the fifth batsman to score 400 or more runs in single Test.
Gill, thrust into the captaincy following Rohit Sharma's shock retirement from Test duty in May, has scored three hundreds in his first four innings as skipper following his 147 during India's defeat in the first Test at Headingley.
