Team India captain Shubman Gill continued his impressive batting performance during the second innings of the fourth Test against England at Old Trafford, Manchester. On the last day of the ongoing Test match (Sunday, 27 July), the right -handed batsman reached the fourth century of the series.
India sacked for ducks before the fourth day after facing a disastrous start with both Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sai Reformson, Shubman Gill and KL Rahul came together to stabilize the innings. Both added a stand of 188 runs for the third wicket, which kept India’s expectations alive.
He disappointed the English bowlers for a large part of the day. KL Rahul appeared ready for a century, but England captain Ben Stokes gave success for his side. Rahul’s resistance ended at 90 runs from 230 delivery. However, Gill completed his fourth hundred of the ongoing series.

Shubman Gill arrives in the fourth century in the Test series as the captain.
Shubman Gill reached a milestone on the last ball of the 83rd over in India’s second innings. The right -handed batsman completed his ninth century in tests. Gill guided a complete delivery out through the point for a single to bring the landmark.
The crowd rose on his feet as Gill removed his helmet and raised his bat in acknowledgment. The Indian captain has been showing extraordinary form since assuming leadership.
However, Gill knows that the work has not been done. India is still under pressure, they should continue to anchor the innings and ensure that there is no further collapse.
Shubman Gill is equal to Don Bradman with a factional century in Manchester
Shubman Gill arrived at the occasion when India needed him the most. He not only kept the innings under immense pressure, but also led a fight and also led to the front. His knock helped India to reduce a major drawback and increase the competition in the last day of testing.
Gill, who was unbeaten in 78 nights, started again with the same determination and flow. With this century, he joined an aristocratic group of batsmen such as Don Bradman, Sunil Gavaskar and Virat Kohli, who scored four or more centuries in a single test series.
Tons came in a significant moment, especially after the defeat at Lord’s, after criticism on his leadership and the bowling strategy in Manchester’s first innings. The knock served as a powerful response, confirming his credibility as both a top -order batsman and India’s test captain.

Every time Shubman Gill has reached 20 in this series, he has gone for a century score. Aristocratic conversion
