2nd Test: Jadeja Hails ‘much Grown’ Skipper Gill After Edgbaston Masterclass
With Jasprit Bumrah: Ravindra Jadeja lavished praise on Shubman Gill after the Indian captain’s monumental double century powered India into a commanding position on Day 2 of the second Test against England at Edgbaston.
“You didn’t see how much Shubman Gill has grown,” Jadeja said after stumps. “Shubman scored 269 runs. He was unlucky because it never looked like he was going to get out today. We were actually talking about building a long partnership.”
And build they did. Gill’s record-breaking 269 — the highest ever by an Indian captain in Tests and the seventh highest overall for India — formed the cornerstone of India’s mammoth first innings total of 587. Jadeja himself contributed a valuable 89 as the pair added 203 for the sixth wicket, laying waste to England’s tiring bowlers on a surface that stayed true throughout the day.
