At the heart of cricket’s most sacred ground—Lord’s Cricket Ground—Shubman Gill delivered a masterclass in temperament and technique, scripting history with a commanding century against England in the ongoing second Test of the five-match series. With his fluent knock, Gill surpassed Sunil Gavaskar’s 54-year-old record for the most Test centuries by an Indian under the age of 26.
Gill’s remarkable knock not only helped steady India’s innings but also demonstrated his growth into a dependable top-order batter in overseas conditions. Gavaskar’s record, set back in the early 1970s, had remained untouched for 54 years until Gill’s historic feat.
His innings is being hailed as a turning point in the match, as well as a landmark moment in his career—cementing his status as a future great of Indian cricket.
