Sukhwinder Tinkku, childhood coach of Indian test skipper Shubman Gill, praised him for his superb double hundred in the second test against England at Edgbaston, Birmingham. He said Gill’s performance was not a surprise for him and felt this is just the beginning of him;

Captain Shubman Gill has risen to the challenge and how. After batting for nearly two days and scoring 269, he put his side well and truly ahead at Birmingham. And just after that, he took a sharp catch at slips to send the dangerous Ben Duckett packing early during England's first innings.

Gill scored an imperious 269 on day two at Edgbaston, besting Sunil Gavaskar's claim to the highest ever score by an Indian batter on English soil and Virat Kohli's mark for the biggest knock by an India captain, as his side posted 587.
