India captain Shubman Gill slammed his 10th century in Tests today in the ongoing second Test against the West Indies at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. He has been scoring runs for fun ever since he was made the captain in the longest format. His latest ton turned out to be record-breaking as Gill scaled multiple landmarks as the Test captain while also creating a record for India in the World Test Championship (WTC) history.
Shubman Gill breaks Rohit's record in WTC history
The 26-year-old is now the player with the most centuries in WTC history for India. His century against the West Indies in Delhi turned out to be the 10th ton, surpassing Rohit Sharma who retired earlier this year, finishing with nine centuries in WTC.
Shubman Gill, one of India’s most promising young batters, achieved a significant personal and leadership milestone by scoring his 5th Test century. What makes this achievement even more impressive is that it came while he was leading the Indian Test team as captain, and this happened in just his 7th match as skipper. His century not only underlined his growing maturity and consistency as a batter but also showcased his ability to lead from the front.
During this innings, Gill played a key role in anchoring the Indian innings and pushing the team to a massive total of 518/5 declared, suggesting a dominant batting performance. The declaration at such a high score indicates that India was in a commanding position in the match and looking to press for a win by giving their bowlers enough time to dismiss the opposition.
