Shubman Gill delivered a stellar performance in the second Test against England at Edgbaston, scoring a massive 269 runs in the first innings and 161 in the second, totaling 430 runs. This exceptional display helped India secure a 336-run victory and earned him the Player of the Match award.
Unlike in India, where cash prizes are common, in England the Player of the Match often receives a bottle of award-winning wine. Gill was presented with a medal and a bottle of premium English wine priced at over ₹21,000, highlighting the unique tradition of English cricket awards.
