Shubman Gill scored a double century (269) for India in the first innings of the ongoing second Test against England. In the match taking place at Edgbaston in Birmingham, Gill came out to bat at No. 4 and scored 269 runs from 387 balls. During his stay at the crease, the right-handed batter from Punjab smacked 30 fours and three sixes for Team India. The double century in the first innings of the Birmingham Test is Gill’s first 200-plus-run score in Test cricket, and it helped him join Sachin Tendulkar, Rohit Sharma, Virender Sehwag, and Chris Gayle in an elite list. The right-handed batter became only the fifth cricketer in the world to score a double century in both the Test and ODI formats of the game. Gill scored a double century (208) in ODIs for India against New Zealand in Hyderabad on January 18, 2023. Tendulkar was the first batter to score a double century in both Tests and ODIs. He achieved the feat in February 2010. During his 24-year-long international career, Tendulkar scored six double centuries in 200 Tests and one double century in 463 ODIs for India. Sehwag equalled Sachin’s elite feat in December 2011 when he scored 219 runs against the West Indies during an ODI match played at Holkar Stadium in Indore. During his 14-year-long international career for India, Sehwag scored six centuries (including two 300s) in Test cricket and one double century in ODIs. Rohit, who is the current captain of India’s ODI team, has three double centuries to his name in ODIs and one in Test cricket. He scored 209 against Australia in 2013, 264 against Sri Lanka in 2014, and 208* against Sri Lanka in 2017, and his only double century in Tests was against South Africa in Ranchi. During the red-ball match played from October 19 to 22 in 2019, Rohit scored 212 runs from 255 balls in the first innings. Gayle is the only non-Indian batter to score a double century in both Tests and ODIs. During his 22-year-long international career for the Men in Maroon, Gayle played 103 Tests and 301 ODIs. He scored one double century and two triple centuries in Test cricket and crossed the 200-run mark once in ODIs. During the 2015 ODI World Cup match played between the West Indies and Zimbabwe in Canberra on February 24, 2025, Gayle scored 215 runs from 147 balls.
