Gill’s twin tons power India to brink of victory

Birmingham, July 5 (UNI) India marched into a position of overwhelming dominance on Day 4 of the second Test at Edgbaston today, as Shubman Gill capped off one of the greatest individual performances in Test history with a blazing 161 in the second innings, following his first-innings 269.
India declared at 427/6, setting England a near-impossible target of 608, and reduced the hosts to 72/3 by stumps.
Gill, already lauded for his double-century earlier in the match, batted with audacity and elegance, becoming the first player in Test cricket to score both a double-hundred and 150+ in the same game. His 162-ball knock featured 13 fours and 8 sixes, many of them struck with a confidence that deflated England’s weary bowlers. He danced down the track, slog-swept Joe Root multiple times over the fence, and carved boundaries with impunity as the lead soared past 600.
