Gill's epic 430 light up Edgbaston as records tumble

Birmingham July 5 (UNI) India's dominance in the second Test against England at Edgbaston reached staggering proportions today, as skipper Shubman Gill scripted history with a stunning match aggregate of 430 runs, propelling India to a colossal 1014 runs across two innings — their highest-ever match total in Test cricket.
Gill, leading India in just his second match as Test captain, delivered a performance for the ages. After a marathon 269 in the first innings, he returned unbeaten on 161 in the second, becoming only the second batsman in Test history to aggregate over 430 runs in a single match. The only man ahead of him is England's Graham Gooch, who amassed 456 runs against India at Lord’s in 1990. Gill now surpasses legends like Brian Lara, Mark Taylor, and Kumar Sangakkara, etching his name alongside the very best.
For India, the total of 1014 runs shattered their previous record of 916 in Sydney during the 2003-04 series. It now stands as the fourth-highest team aggregate in the history of Test cricket, underlining the scale of India's dominance in this contest.
