Team India’s historic record under the captaincy of Shubman Gill, this happened with the team for the first time

Shubman Gill

Shubman Gill scored a brilliant century in both innings of the Edgbaston Test.

After the retirement of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma from Test cricket, all eyes were on the Indian young batsmen whether they would be able to perform well in the challenging conditions of England. But these young players not only did wonders, but also surprised everyone. While four Indian batsmen together scored five centuries in the first Test at Leeds, in the second Test being played at Edgbaston, the Indian team led by Shubman Gill touched the 1000-run mark. This is the first time in the history of Indian Test cricket that more than 1000 runs have been scored in a Test match.

Historic achievement of Team India

Earlier, India had scored the highest 916 runs in a Test against Australia in Sydney in 2004. But by crossing the 1000-run mark at Edgbaston, India has become the fifth team to score so many runs in a match in Test cricket.

List of world records

The world record for most runs in a Test match is held by England when they scored 1121 runs against West Indies in 1930. Australia is the only team to have achieved this feat twice—1028 runs against England in 1934 and 1013 runs against West Indies in 1969. Apart from this, Pakistan made it to the list by scoring 1078 runs against India in 2006 and South Africa made it to the list by scoring 1011 runs against England in 1939.

Contribution of Shubman Gill

Shubman Gill scored 269 runs in the first innings and 161 runs in the second innings in this Test, helping India set a huge target of 608 runs in front of England. The brilliant performance of Gill along with other batsmen led India to this historic feat. This achievement marks the beginning of a new era of Indian cricket.

Why did Team India declare the innings late in Edgbaston? Bowling coach told the reason

Team India

In the Edgbaston Test match, Team India has set a target of 608 runs for England to win.

Team India: On the fourth day of the Edgbaston Test, Saturday 5 July, India declared their second innings at 427 runs, after which bowling coach Morne Morkel defended the decision of this late declaration. He said that India had no concern with England’s ‘Bazball’ strategy. Shubman Gill played a brilliant innings of 161 runs, in which Ravindra Jadeja and Rishabh Pant also made important contributions. India set a huge target of 608 runs in front of England.

Team India’s strategy and late declaration

Team India: India scored runs in the second innings and set a target of 608 runs, which many fans and experts considered excessive, as a target of more than 418 runs has never been chased in the history of Test cricket. Nevertheless, India gave England 16 overs to bat at the end of the fourth day and put them under pressure by losing three wickets for 72 runs. Morkel said in the press conference that the team discussed a lot about declaring the innings, but the pitch was still favorable for batting.

Team India: Morkel said, “This is a good question. We discussed it throughout the day. But we felt that the pitch was still good for batting. Our batsmen were scoring comfortably at the rate of 4-5 runs per over in the last session. The weather is not in our control, so we wanted to make a strong position with the bat. We had planned to bowl more than 20 overs tonight, and we got three wickets, which is a bonus for us.”

Fifth day and threat of rain

Morkel told that the first hour of the fifth day will be very important. He said, “In the morning we saw that if the ball is put in the right place, then there was some help from the pitch. Tomorrow we have to maintain accuracy in our bowling.” However, there is a 60% chance of rain in Birmingham, which could put a damper on India’s hopes of a win.

Was India worried about ‘Bazball’?

When asked if India was worried about England’s aggressive ‘Bazball’ strategy and their intention to chase any target, Morkel dismissed it outright. He said, “If a team scores more than 500 runs on the last day, it deserves to win.” Morkel believes that India have created a strong position as per their strategy and now it is up to the bowlers to take the remaining wickets quickly.
