In the third unofficial Test match against West Indies A, Indian cricketer Shubman Gill scored an unbeaten 204, of off 250 balls, for the ‘A’ team – and became the youngest Indian cricketer to score a double century. 

19-year-old Shubman broke the record that was previously held by Gautam Gambhir, who had scored 218 for India Board President’s XI against Zimbabwe in 2002, when he was 20 years old.

Many people took to Twitter to talk about how Gill – who wasn’t selected for the senior touring parties for the series in West Indies – deserved more chances: 

The right-handed player helped set up a 373-run target, and in fact, has been in an exceptional form throughout team ‘A’ innings.
