It has taken India 35 long years to clear an old debt against England, but it couldn’t have come at a better time and in a more emphatic manner. In only his second Test match as captain, young Shubman Gill theatrically bowed deeper and deeper each time to the Edgbaston crowd, as he celebrated the passage of significant personal batting milestones. It started in the first innings with a fighting hundred that went on to become a double hundred and subsequently an epic 250-plus score.
