Shubman Gill’s Classy Hundred Anchors India’s Innings
Gill walked in with India at a shaky stage, but his calm and composed batting brought much-needed stability. The 25-year-old skipper played with confidence and perfect shot selection, striking 15 boundaries and keeping the scoreboard ticking.

This was his second consecutive Test century, underlining his consistency and leadership potential in red-ball cricket. His innings has not only boosted India’s total but also reasserted his place as one of the finest modern-day Test batters.

Jadeja Holds the Fort
While Gill drew all the attention, Ravindra Jadeja did his part at the other end. His 41 off 95 balls* included a mix of patience, solid defense, and the occasional boundary. Together, the Gill-Jadeja duo built an 89-run unbroken stand, frustrating England's attack during the final session.
