Back to back centuries for Shubman Gill. Very impressive. It is incredible that its control percentage is 96. He has not taken 4 like fish for water.

Hazare, Gavaskar, Kohli and now Gill.
The 4th Indian captain to score hundreds in his first 2 Test matches as Captain. Fenomanl #Shubmangill #ENGVIND– Anant Tyagi (@anantyagi_) July 2, 2025
The same way is where Kohli did runs like him. Gill also knows this and has done an incredible job with the bat. The slowest century ever, but worth it.
