Shubman Gill Makes History as India’s New Test Captain

Shubman Gill`s historic century marks a thrilling start as India’s Test captain against England at Headingley.

In a thrilling display of talent and poise, Shubman Gill etched his name into the annals of cricket history as he captained India for the first time, scoring his sixth Test century on Day 1 at Headingley against England. As the sun bathed the iconic ground, India reached a solid 92 for two at lunch, setting the stage for what promises to be an exhilarating first Test of the five-match series.

Gill’s remarkable innings was complemented by key performances from fellow batsmen, with both KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal contributing 42 runs each. However, the day was not without its challenges, as debutant Sai Sudharsan fell early, leaving the team to navigate a batting-friendly pitch against a depleted England bowling attack missing stalwarts James Anderson and Stuart Broad.

Meanwhile, in the world of wrestling, Indian wrestler Sumit shone brightly at the U23 Asian Wrestling Championships 2025, clinching the Greco-Roman gold medal and showcasing India`s prowess on the continental stage.
