Gill hit his fifth Test hundred of 2025 -- the most by any player in the year they first captained their country. He also equalled Virat Kohli’s Indian record for most Test hundreds as captain in a calendar year (five in 2017 and 2018).

India’s spinners struck regular blows to dent West Indies’ reply after skipper Shubman Gill’s fluent unbeaten 129 extended the hosts’ dominance on the second day of the second Test in Delhi on Saturday. Gill led from the front after Yashasvi Jaiswal’s dismissal on 175 early in the day, steering India to 518-5 declared. The visitors closed on 140-4, still 378 runs behind at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
