This marked the highest-ever score by an Indian captain in Tests in England and one of the highest by an Indian batter for a test match outside Asia. However, the excitement for the landmark score elated Shubman Gill to such an extent that he forgot about his trademark celebration.

List of records broken by Shubman Gill during his historic knock at Edgbaston
269 runs—Shubman's record total at Edgbaston is now the highest ever by an Indian captain in tests, surpassing former Indian legend Virat Kohli's 254 against South Africa at Pune in 2019.
This 269 marked the third-highest total by an Indian batter in a test outside India, surpassing Virender Sehwag's 309 and Rahul Dravid's historic 270 at Rawalpindi.
This 269-run score by Gill is also the seventh-highest score by an Indian batter in Test cricket history.
Gill's score of 269 is the eighth-highest by a visiting batter in England. Before this, only Graeme Smith and Zaheer Abbas had scored double-hundreds as visiting batters at Edgbaston.
Mohammed Siraj strikes in the first spell to send Zack Crawley back
Indian pace bowling sensation Mohammed Siraj leads the pace bowling unit of India for the second test, as he is the senior pro in the absence of world No. 1 test bowler Jasprit Bumrah.
This was the third wicket picked by the Indian side in the last hour of the day's play, as Akash Deep picked two early wickets in quick succession on Day 1, dismissing centurions from Leeds, Ben Duckett, and Ollie Pope.
