Vaibhav inspired by Gill's record-breaking 200 at Edgbaston

The U19 India squad made a trip to Birmingham to watch the senior team in action in the second Test at Edgbaston. Indian skipper Shubman Gill had a record-breaking outing in the first innings, scoring 269 off 387 balls to help India post a formidable total of 587.

Vaibhav was inspired by Gill's double century, especially how the Indian skipper took the team forward after scoring a century. The youngster added that he could have batted a little longer after completing his century.

“I got a lot of inspiration from Shubman Gill because I saw the game. Even after scoring 100 and 200, he kept at it and took the team forward. I could have made it longer because I had a lot of time. I had 20 overs left after that, so I could have made the innings longer.” Vaibhav said.

“There was a shot that I couldn't give my 100 per cent, which is why I got out. Or else I could have tried to make the innings longer like Gill,” he added
