Shubman Gill has etched his name in Indian cricket history, becoming the fourth Indian Test captain to score centuries in his first two matches. His strong showing in the current series against England places Gill among legendary players such as Vijay Hazare, Sunil Gavaskar, and Virat Kohli.

Gill started the series impressively with 147 in the first Test match. He then scored a tough, unbeaten 102 in the second Test, proving his batting skills. His achievements are emphasized by the fact that he is leading India to success in England, a place usually tough for most batters, regardless of experience.

Indian captains who have scored centuries in their first two Tests as captain:

Vijay hazare – 164155 & 6 (1951) Sunil Gavaskar – 116 & 35205 & 73 (1976 1978)
Virat Kohli – 115 & 141, 147 & 46 (2014 2015)
Shubman Gill – 147 & 8, 102* (2025)

All these players began their captaincy with a clear goal, and Shubman Gill seems to be continuing this legacy. His calm demeanor and tactical field management have already received considerable praise, especially considering he is only 25.

Comparisons to Kohli and Gavaskar are inevitable, but Gill has already made history by captaining in his debut. His leadership qualities include a cool head, precise footwork, and smart shot selection under pressure. These two centuries in his first two matches not only strengthen India’s position in this series but could also mark a turning point in his career.

As the series goes on, everyone will watch to see if Gill can continue this streak and help India win a memorable Test series in England.
