Further in the video. full of emotion after listening to a message from his parents following his career-best 269 in the second Test of Anderson-Tendulkar trophy against England at Edgbaston. The 25-year-old made history by becoming the first Indian captain to score a double hundred in England and the first Indian to hit a double ton in Tests outside Asia since Virat Kohli's 200 in 2016. His knock broke Kohli's record of 254* as the highest by an Indian Test captain and went past Sachin Tendulkar's 241* for the highest score by an Indian batter in a Test outside Asia.
After the day's play, the BCCI shared a video where Gill could be seen hearing his parents' voice messages. Gill said the words from his father meant a lot to him. 'Means a lot coming from him,' Gill said. 'Growing up, I played all of my cricket for my dad. It was because of him I started playing cricket. He and my best friend, whom I practised with, are the only two people I care about and listen to when it comes to cricket. But he also said I missed my triple century.'
Gill's father, Lakhwinder Singh, praised his son and said the innings reminded him of the days when Shubman played at the U16 and U19 level. 'Shubman beta, well played. Today, watching your batting brought great joy and peace to my heart. It felt just like when you used to play U16 and U19. I felt very proud,' Lakhwinder said.
Gill's mother also shared a simple and loving message. 'Felt very good watching your batting, son. Keep going, God bless you,' she said.
Gill's knock helped India post 587, their highest total in England in 18 years. His solid innings put India in control of the match as the bowlers land early blows reducing hosts England to 77/3 in 20 overs.

‘We'll chase whatever they set us': Brook backs England to stun India at Edgbaston
The ICC World No. 2 Test batter and England's middle-order mainstay Harry Brook is confident of his team chasing down any total set by the Indian team in the Birmingham Test. India ended Day 3 of the second Test (Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy) with a healthy 244-run lead over England with nine wickets left on Friday at Edgbaston. 'I still think we can win this Test match, to be honest. I believe if we take a couple of early wickets tomorrow and put them under pressure and hopefully they can crumble up there and everybody knows in the world that we are going to try and chase whatever they set us, so we'll see how they play,' said Brook to BBC after his marathon 303-run partnership with wicketkeeper batter Jamie Smith. England were looking down the barrels after they left India to score 587 in the first innings. When the day started, Joe Root and skipper Ben Stokes fell on successive deliveries off Siraj, leaving England at 84 for five. From there, Brook and Smith triggered a ruthless counter-attack, taking England past 400 with their 303-run stand. Brook scored 158 before being cleaned up by Akash Deep, while Smith remained unbeaten at 184, reducing the home side's deficit to less than 200. 'It was nice to spend some time out there with Smudge [Jamie Smith]. He has a long England career ahead of him. Hopefully we've clawed ourselves back in the game. He played phenomenally well there. He put all the momentum back in our favour,' said Brook. 'If I hadn't got out we would not be in this situation now but we saw last week how quickly it can change. Akash and Siraj bowled well. They attacked the stumps with all modes of dismissal in play,' he added. In reply, India started their second innings confidently before opener Yashasvi Jaiswal was trapped in front by Josh Tongue. 'Thankfully we've seen the back of Jaiswal and hopefully we can make inroads tomorrow. India are in the driving seat but hopefully we can put pressure with early wickets and make them crumble,' said Brook.

‘Never gotten out to it': Nasser Hussain dissects the Harry Brook shot that makes him a class apart in Test cricket
Harry Brook's stoic counter-attack kept England alive in the fight after their early collapse on Day 3 of the Edgbaston Test against India on Friday. Picking up the side with a record-breaking 303-run partnership alongside Jamie Smith, Brook played second fiddle in the onslaught but not without leaving his own impressions with the 'charge' against the India pacers. Brook patiently coasted to his ninth Test century, becoming the fastest England batter in 96 years since Herbert Sutcliffe (43) to get there in only 44 innings. The young Yorkshireman's Test average consequently moved past 60. At 60.37, Brook holds the second-highest Test average among active players who have played at least 20 innings, also the second among all Englishmen, behind Sutcliffe's 60.73. Former England captain Nasser Hussain was effusive in his praise of how Brook calibrated his innings and described how the sturdy right-hander punishes pacers to maintain the tempo, using a distinct shot-making technique by charging down the pitch. 'For his last three Test hundreds, he has walked to the crease with the scoreboard reading 45 for three, 26 for three and 25 for three here. He clearly deals well with pressure. Yes, on the second evening, he looked frenetic but that was simply because all of England's batsmen's brains were scrambled after 151 overs in the field,' Hussain wrote on his Daily Mail column. 'But the break overnight clearly did him some good, because from the start of that 303-run partnership with Jamie Smith, he was back to his normal, calm and composed self.' Hussain noted how Brook wasn't attempting to play catch-up with Smith even when the India seamers alternated from their short-ball ploy to bowling wide outside the off-stump. "A REAL talent!" 👌 Test century number nine for @Harry_Brook_88! 🏏@IGcom | 🏴 #ENGvIND 🇮🇳 — England Cricket (@englandcricket) July 4, 2025 'Importantly, he didn't try to keep up with Smith, either. Smith overtook him very quickly, but Brook just kept his own tempo. This was back to Bazball at its smartest.' 'Brook doesn't just play one way. He's a thinking cricketer and although there have been a couple of times that he has been sucked into things he perhaps shouldn't have – he had a couple of brain fades in the 2023 Ashes with the short ball, and then got a bit bored with Sri Lanka tactically bowling wide to him and lost focus – he adapts to playing the shots in his favour,' observed Hussain. Hussain explained how Brook forces bowlers to alternate their plans to his liking while adeptly using the charge, down the track, to hit them off their conventional lengths. 'His charging down the pitch early on Friday to counter the Indian seamers was a case in point. Brook is doing it for a reason. There's a method in that madness. He wants to put bowlers off and the statistics show you that he plays it well: 32 attempts at it have got him 92 runs, and he's never got out to it. 'It's clever batting: he charges because he realises there's a certain length he's uncomfortable with about seven metres down the pitch and when he sees a bowler bowling that length, he advances to hit him off it,' remarked Hussain.

Massive blow to Saif Ali Khan, family, in Rs 15,000 crore ancestral Bhopal property case, after High Court verdict
In a major turn of events concerning one of Bhopal's most prolonged legal battles over royal inheritance, the Madhya Pradesh High Court has overturned a 20-year-old decision issued by a trial court. This decision breathes new life into a case involving the descendants of the former Nawab of Bhopal , Mohammad Hamidullah Khan—notably actor Saif Ali Khan , his sisters Soha and Saba, and their mother, veteran actress Sharmila Tagore. Legal Basis Challenged by the High Court According to a report from IANS, the earlier trial court judgment had leaned heavily on a precedent set by the Allahabad High Court in the Talat Fatima Hasan case. That precedent has since been struck down by the Supreme Court in 2020, which clarified that personal property of former royals must follow personal succession laws rather than be treated as political inheritance determined solely by appointments to titular positions. Because the trial court's decision had drawn extensively from this now-defunct legal reasoning, the High Court concluded that the earlier verdict could no longer stand. Under the authority granted by Order 14 Rule 23A of the Civil Procedure Code, the case was remanded for a full retrial, offering all concerned parties a chance to present their claims again under current legal standards. Property Claims Span Generations The conflict traces its roots back to 1999, when two civil suits were initiated seeking division, possession, and detailed accounting of the royal family's ancestral assets. These assets include several lavish properties, both within and beyond Bhopal. The petitioners argued that upon Nawab Hamidullah Khan's death in 1960, his wealth—classified as personal property—should have passed equally to his legal heirs under the principles of Muslim Personal Law . They opposed the claim that all the wealth should go solely to his daughter, Begum Sajida Sultan. However, the Indian government had declared Sajida Sultan as the exclusive heir through a formal communication dated January 10, 1962. This recognition was anchored in the Bhopal Merger Agreement of 1949 and supported by Article 366(22) of the Indian Constitution. In defense, it was maintained that according to the traditions of royal succession and the terms laid out in the merger, all personal property should go to the appointed successor to the Gaddi, or royal throne, and not be distributed among other descendants. Court Urges Swift Disposal of Retrial Noting that the case has already lingered for over 20 years, the High Court instructed the lower court to handle the retrial with urgency, aiming to wrap up the proceedings within a year. The case has reignited public interest in one of India's most fabled princely dynasties, where longstanding traditions, constitutional provisions, and religious laws are colliding in the battle for inheritance. New Complications Arise With 'Enemy Property' Classification Saif Ali Khan's legal entanglements deepened when the High Court dismissed his objection to a government initiative that categorized a portion of his family's properties in Bhopal—collectively estimated to be worth Rs 15,000 crore—as "enemy property." This categorization stems from a 2014 notification issued by the Custodian of Enemy Property Department. The government cited the Enemy Property Act to assert control over several prime assets, arguing that these estates belong to individuals who migrated to Pakistan after Partition. Properties affected include Saif's childhood residence, Flag Staff House, as well as the Noor-Us-Sabah Palace, Dar-Us-Salam, Bungalow of Habibi, Ahmedabad Palace, and the Kohefiza Property. In 2015, Saif managed to secure a temporary stay against this declaration from the High Court. However, the court lifted that stay on December 13, 2024. In its latest ruling, the court granted the family a 30-day window to submit their claims and reassert ownership—but no applications were filed during this period. A Royal Lineage Under Scrutiny The original Nawab, Hamidullah Khan, had three daughters. One of them, Abida Sultan, migrated to Pakistan, while the other two, including Sajida Sultan—Saif's grandmother—remained in India. The government's claim over the properties hinges on the fact that one sibling moved to Pakistan, thus branding the estate as enemy property. Saif's family has contested this logic, arguing that inheritance should have followed the lineage that remained in India. Saif Ali Khan's Career Continues Amid Legal Drama While the courtroom developments unfold, Saif Ali Khan continues to focus on his film career. He was last seen in the Netflix project Jewel Thief and is currently preparing for the next installment of the action-thriller franchise Race 4. Additionally, he is set to share the screen with Akshay Kumar in an upcoming film titled Haiwaan, directed by Priyadarshan.
