    Shubman Gill breaks Gautam Gambhir's record
  • India's young rookie batsman Shubman Gill created history on Thursday when he became the youngest Indian to score a First-Class double century.

    He attained the feat during India A's unofficial four-day Test against Windies A in Trinidad and Tobago.

    He was also involved in a massive 315-run stand along with Hanuma Vihari, as India were in driver's seat.

    Here's more on it.

  • Gill aged 19 years 334 days, smashed a 250-ball 204.

    As a result, he went past Gautam Gambhir's record, who then held the record of youngest Indian to score a double ton.

    Gambhir had scored 218 at the age of 20 years against Zimbabwe in a tour game in 2002, playing for India Board President's XI.

  • In the opening innings of the match, Gill could not live up to his expectations as he was dismissed for a duck.

    However, he bounced back in the second innings, as his unbeaten knock of 204 included 19 fours and a couple of sixes.

    Meanwhile, Vihari, who had struck a half-century in the opening innings, continued his good run, scoring an unbeaten 118.

  • Math report

    How did the match pan out?

  • Being asked to bat, India were bundled for an average total of 201, while in reply, the Windies too were bowled out for a paltry total of 194.

    Despite India struggling at 23/3 in the second innings, the pair of Gill and Vihari took charge of the innings and declared at 365/4.

    Currently, the Windies need 336 runs to win.

  • It must be noted that Gill's knock has come just days after he failed to make the cut to the Indian side for the Windies tour.

    This knock is a strong indication that he is eyeing a spot in the Indian side and is trying to draw the selectors' attention.

    Meanwhile, Gill also had a sound IPL 2019 season with the KKR.
