Gill's Masterclass Puts India in Commanding Position Against West Indies
11 Oct
Summary
- Shubman Gill nears 10th Test century with unbeaten 75
- Yashasvi Jaiswal run-out for 175 after strong start
- India reach 427/4 at lunch on Day 2 of 2nd Test
On the second day of the 2nd Test between India and West Indies in New Delhi, the hosts have continued their dominant batting display. Skipper Shubman Gill has been the star of the show, treating the West Indies bowlers with disdain and inching closer to his 10th Test century.
The day began with a setback for India as Yashasvi Jaiswal, who had scored a magnificent 175 on the opening day, was unfortunately run-out. However, Gill's concentration remained unwavered, and he has already scored 75 runs, including 11 fours and a six.
Nitish Kumar Reddy, promoted up the order, also made a valuable contribution of 43 runs off 54 balls, adding 91 runs for the fourth wicket with Gill. The pair's quick scoring has put India in a commanding position, with the team reaching 427/4 at the lunch break.
Gill's batting has been the highlight of the morning session, with the captain showcasing his class and versatility. He has played a range of shots, from flicks through the vacant mid-wicket region to powerful lofted drives over the infield. The West Indies bowlers have struggled to contain the in-form Indian skipper, who appears determined to lead his team to a big first-innings total.
