Delhi: India’s young batting sensation Shubman Gill added another milestone to his growing Test career by notching up his 10th Test century on the second day of the second and final Test against the West Indies at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
Gill, who resumed play on Saturday morning with a determined approach, reached the three-figure mark with a well-timed shot to the boundary, drawing loud applause from the home crowd. His innings was marked by composure, fluent strokeplay, and excellent shot selection as he anchored India’s middle order after the dismissals of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Nitish Kumar Reddy earlier in the day.
This century further cements Gill’s position as one of India’s most reliable batters in the longer format, showcasing his ability to build innings under pressure and capitalize on starts.
India, which posted a commanding first-innings total with significant contributions across the top order, continued to dominate proceedings with Gill leading the charge. His partnership with the lower middle order has provided India with a strong platform to potentially bat the West Indies out of the match.
The West Indies bowlers struggled to contain Gill, who mixed caution with aggression, punishing loose deliveries while respecting the good ones.
Gill’s century not only strengthens India’s grip on the match but also adds momentum to his personal tally, reinforcing his stature as a key figure in India’s future across formats.
