Team India's newly appointed Test captain Shubman Gill is currently going through the form of his life. He scored a record breaking 269 on Day two of the Edgbaston Test against England.
Gill faced 387 balls during his marathon knock as he hit 30 boundaries and three sixes. This helped India post 587 runs in the first innings.
In response to Gill's brilliant batting, former England captain Michael Vaughan has made a bold prediction. According to Vaughan, Gill will be averaging 45 by the end of the series given the fantastic start he has made to the series.
"At the start of the series, I said that his average of 35 in cricket, that's not high enough for his quality. I said by the end of his career he'll be averaging 45. I think probably by the end of this series he will be averaging 45. He's made a terrific start. He is the captain, second time out and he's now two from two. Magnificent," said Vaughan during a recent interaction.
The former England great further said that Gill assessed the conditions well on the day and his technique looked absolutely pure and had the mindset to perform.

"It was a great toss for him to have lost, but I think as Sunny said, when you get really quality players, when they get on a good surface, and they know there's not a great deal of swing or seam, there's the odd ball that bounces. There's not a great deal of spin just yet. I think great players realise it, and his feet have been going great. His technique looks absolutely pure. And he just had the mindset to perform," Vaughan added.
