India captain Shubman Gill continued his remarkable run of form in the ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy by notching up his fourth century of the series against England during the fourth Test at Old Trafford on Sunday, helping his side stabilise after a shaky start in their second innings.

The 25-year-old reached the landmark in style, completing his century off 228 deliveries in the sixth ball of the 83rd over. Facing Chris Woakes, the right-hander guided a delivery through point and jogged a single to bring up the milestone. Then came a roar of triumph, as he took his helmet off, raised his bat, and blew a kiss to the crowd.

The century came at a crucial juncture in the match. India, trailing by a massive 311-run first-innings deficit, were in early trouble after losing two quick wickets for no runs. Gill walked in with the team under immense pressure and once again stood tall, showcasing technical excellence and mental fortitude.
