India captain Shubman Gill produced a sensational performance in the second Test at Edgbaston, scoring 269 and 161—totaling a rare 430 runs—to lead India to a commanding 336‑run victory over England . His monumental effort made him only the fifth cricketer in Test history to surpass 400 runs in a single match and the second-ever to record a double century and a 150 in the same Test . Gill’s run haul propelled him from 23rd to a career‑high No. 6 in the ICC Test batting rankings . Meanwhile, England’s Harry Brook ascended to world No. 1, overtaking Joe Root . The emphatic win marked India’s first victory at Edgbaston in 19 attempts and set the tone for the rest of the series. (PC: X)
