IND vs WI Test Series: Shubman Gill scored a century against West Indies, left Rohit Sharma behind and equaled Dhoni.

IND vs WI Test Series: Team India’s young captain Shubman Gill is in great form at the moment. He scored his 10th Test century on the second day of the second Test against West Indies at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. This century of Gill was special because it was his fifth Test century as captain. With this he has left Rohit Sharma behind and has equaled Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

Gill’s bat echoed in front of Delhi audience

The spectators present at the Delhi ground cheered when Shubman Gill completed his century with a brilliant drive. He achieved this milestone in 177 balls, which included 13 fours and 1 six. As soon as he completed his century, Gill celebrated by taking off his helmet while head coach Gautam Gambhir, sitting in the dressing room, was also seen standing and clapping.

Gill made it clear with this innings that he is fully ready to prove himself even just as a captain.

Reached top 5 in the list of captains

With this century, Shubman Gill has now joined the list of Indian captains who have scored the most centuries as captain. Virat Kohli is at the forefront of this list, who has 20 centuries in his name as captain. After him come the names of Sunil Gavaskar (11), Mohammad Azharuddin (9) and Sachin Tendulkar (7). Now Gill, Dhoni, Sourav Ganguly and Pataudi are at the same position with five centuries each, while Rohit Sharma is left behind with 4 centuries.

The journey started with England series

Shubman Gill started his Test career as captain in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy against England. In the same series, he scored four centuries and got that series drawn. Now this fifth century against West Indies shows the continuity and mental strength of his career.

India’s start in the Delhi Test was not that good. Yashasvi Jaiswal, who was batting brilliantly in the first session, was run out after scoring 175 runs due to a mistake by Gill. After this incident, Gill was criticized a lot, but he did not show any pressure and continued batting with a very calm mind and made his place in a special record.
