Shubman Gill’s 430-Run Epic Earns Vaughan’s Praise: “Next Superstar”

Birmingham — Former England captain Michael Vaughan has lavished praise on Indian Test skipper Shubman Gill after his monumental batting display in the second match of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy at Edgbaston, Birmingham.

Taking to social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Vaughan hailed Gill’s performance as “herculean,” acknowledging the 25-year-old’s remarkable achievement of scoring 430 runs across both innings against England.

Gill’s prolific effort not only helped India gain a commanding position in the Test match but also etched his name in the record books.
