Shubman Gill's magnificent century, coupled with Rishabh Pant's explosive innings, has put India in a commanding position in the second Test against England at Edgbaston. On Day 4, India amassed a formidable lead, leaving England with a mountain to climb if they hope to level the series.

Gill's Record-Breaking Performance

Gill's unbeaten 100 in the second innings, following his impressive 269 in the first, saw him break a significant record. He now holds the record for the most runs scored by an Indian batsman in a single Test, surpassing the legendary Sunil Gavaskar's previous best. This feat underscores Gill's exceptional form and his importance to the Indian batting lineup.

Pant's Explosive Support

Rishabh Pant provided valuable support with a typically aggressive 65. His partnership with Gill yielded 110 runs in just 103 balls, further demoralizing the English bowlers. England's missed opportunities, dropping Pant twice, proved costly as he made them pay dearly.

India Sets a Daunting Target

India declared their innings, setting England a daunting target of 608 runs to win. This requires England to achieve their highest-ever fourth-innings chase, surpassing the 378 they made against India at the same venue three years prior. The pressure is on for the English batsmen to deliver a historic performance.

Can England Pull Off a Miracle?

With Jasprit Bumrah absent from India's bowling attack, England might see a glimmer of hope. However, the sheer scale of the target and the pressure of the situation make it a monumental task. Cricket fans around the world will be eagerly watching to see if England can defy the odds and pull off an improbable victory.

Day 5 Promises High Drama

The final day of the Test promises high drama. Will England's batsmen rise to the occasion, or will India's bowlers prove too strong? The psychology of cricket will undoubtedly play a significant role as both teams battle for supremacy.
