In the first innings of the second Test match against England, Team India skipper Shubman Gill played a knock of 269 runs off 387 deliveries, which included 30 boundaries and three maximums.

Speaking about his stunning double-century, Gill said, "I think at the end of the IPL and before this series, I worked a lot on this. I mainly worked on my initial movement and my setup. Before this, I felt my batting was going well. I was scoring 30-35-40 runs consistently in Test matches. But at some point, I was missing that peak concentration time. A lot of people say that when you focus too much, you sometimes miss your peak time".

The knock also helped him become the first Indian and Asian captain to score a double century in a Test match in England. Riding on his knock, Team India posted a total of 587 runs in 151 overs.
