New Delhi: India ke naye Test captain Shubman Gill ko Monday ko puri qaum ne salute kiya after unki zabardast performance ne team ko Edgbaston mein pehli dafa Test jeet dilayi — aur wo bhi 336 runs se, leveling the series 1-1 against England.
Gill, jo pehle Test mein Headingley par century kar chuke thay in a losing cause, iss dafa naye heights tak pohanch gaye — unhone 269 aur 161 runs score kiye, creating a massive lead and putting India firmly in control.
Ye Edgbaston mein India ki pehli Test jeet thi, jahan pehle 7 defeats aur ek draw hua tha. Indian Express ne headline diya: “New captain, new India” — jo is jeet ki importance ko perfectly capture karta hai.
Gill, jo sirf 25 saal ke hain, ban gaye youngest Indian Test captain to secure an overseas win — unhone Sunil Gavaskar ka record tod diya, jo 26 mein New Zealand ke against jeet chuke thay Auckland mein 1976 mein.
Unki batting average overseas pehle 30 se neeche thi, lekin iss series mein unhone critics ko silence kar diya with 585 runs in four innings.
Legendary batter Sachin Tendulkar ne social media pe likha: “Shublime innings from the man of the moment”, aur kaha ke India ki strategy thi England ko outplay karna with fearless cricket.
‘Drowning Street’ Headlines:
India ke pace attack ne bhi kamaal kar diya — Jasprit Bumrah ke rest hone ke baad Akash Deep ne liye 10 wickets in the match, including 6-99 in the second innings. Unhone Joe Root ko ek aise ball pe clean bowled kiya jo Tendulkar ne “ball of the series” kaha.
Virat Kohli, jo ab retire ho chuke hain, ne likha: “Fearless India kept pushing England to the wall. Gill was brilliant with bat and leadership.”
Sourav Ganguly ne bhi Gill ki leadership aur India’s pace attack ki tareef ki, particularly Siraj aur Akash Deep ko “workhorses” kaha.
Indian newspapers ne headlines se khel kiya:
“Deep’s 10 send Eng to Drowning Street” and “Edg-bastian breached”
Ab series ka third Test Thursday se Lord’s mein start hoga, jahan dono teams ka pressure aur expectations barh chuke hain.
