‘[/India beat England by 336 runs at Edgbaston in Birmingham to level the five-Test series 1-1. Shubman Gill led from the front, scoring 269 and 161, and totalled 430 runs in the match. This is the second highest score by a player in a match.
Gill was the ‘Player of the Match’ and started the post match press conference with a joke and now it’s gone viral.
Gill walked in smiling and scanning the room, looking for someone.
Gill said: I don’t see my favourite journalist. Where is he? I wanted to see the one who asked about India’s record at Edgbaston.
Gill was referring to the reporter who had asked him about India’s winless record at Edgbaston before the second Test.
Then Gill had said that his team is the “Best Indian Cricket Team” to visit England.
Besides their first Test win at Edgbaston, it was also India’s biggest win away from home. Shubman Gill, who was appointed India’s Test captain last month, got his first win as captain in this format.
India scored over 1000 runs in both innings, Gill scored 269 and 161. Mohammed Siraj took 6 English wickets in the first innings and Akash Deep took 10 wickets in the second and got his career best.
