New Delhi: Shubman Gill Test Century, Gill turned early disappointment into sheer delight on Day 2 of the second Test against the West Indies in New Delhi. The morning began on a sour note for the young captain when a communication error with Yashasvi Jaiswal led to the latter’s run-out for a brilliant 175 in just the second over of the day.
Determined to make amends, Gill responded with a commanding display of batting, registering his first Test century on home soil as India’s skipper. The innings not only reaffirmed his leadership credentials but also saw him surpass Sachin Tendulkar’s milestone for most Test centuries before the age of 26.
What made the knock even more special was the record it broke—Gill became only the second Indian captain after Virat Kohli to score five Test centuries in a single calendar year. Remarkably, he reached the feat in just 12 innings, eclipsing Kohli’s record of 18 innings.
With his composed yet dominant hundred, Gill continues to cement his place among India’s most promising cricket leaders, blending youthful aggression with a maturity beyond his years.
