As captain only in his second test, Gill crossed legends such as Virat Kohli, Sachin Tendulkar and Sunil Gavaskar, compiling a list of elite milestones in an extraordinary knock.“I worked on some things before the series,” Gill said after the day’s game. “Looking at the results, they are working for me.”

Here are the major records made by Captain Gill in Birmingham:* The highest by an Indian captain in the testGill’s 269 now stands as the highest score by an Indian Test captain, beating Kohli’s unbeaten 254 against South Africa in 2019. It is only the second double hundred by one Indian captain in a foreign trial after Kohli’s 200 Kohli in Antigua in 2016.* Record in England and outside AsiaIn England, Gill’s effort is now the highest score by an Indian batsman, making Gavaskar 221 at Oval in 1979 and 217 in Dravid in 2002. His 269 also tops Sachin Tendulkar’s 241* in Sydney in 2004.* Between India’s all -time bestOverall, Gill’s 269 is the third highest test score by an Indian, behind Sehwag’s 309 (Multan, 2004) and Dravid’s 270 (Rawalpindi, 2004). This is the seventh highest Test score for India at all places.After Sehwag, Tendulkar, Rohit Sharma and Chris Gayle (The Lone Non-Indian), he also became only the fifth batsman, both of them to beat hundreds of people doubled in both tests and Odis.

* Renified Company in EdgbastonIn Edgbaston, only Graeme Smith (277, 2003) and Zaheer Abbas (274, 1971) scored more as a tour of batsmen. Gill’s 269 is now the third largest score at the venue by a tourist, and is the eighth largest in England by a visiting batter.* Elite Company in Captain Debut TrailGill is now one of only seven players to hit each of his first two tests as captain. It was earlier achieved by Indian Vijay Hazare, Gavaskar and Kohli. In 25 years and 298 days, he is also the second youngest Indian captain to post double ton after Mac Pataudi.Only Graeme Smith scored a dual century in England at an early age among the captains, doing so twice in 2003 at the age of 22.
