Ravindra Jadeja showed attacking intent at times in his innings. The left-hander smashed five sixes. With that, he surpassed former captain MS Dhoni on the list of most sixes in Test cricket for the country. Jadeja has 80 sixes and is now fourth on the list.

He is only behind Rohit Sharma (88 sixes), Virender Sehwag (90 sixes), and Rishabh Pant (90 sixes). MS Dhoni had 78 sixes in his Test career. All of Jadeja's five sixes came against Jomel Warrican.

#4 Sixth Indian captain to score 50 or more in debut Test innings at home

Shubman Gill scored a solid half-century on the second day. Unfortunately, he could not convert it into three figures. He was dismissed on 50 off 100 balls. Gill became the sixth Indian captain to score 50 or more in their debut innings in a home Test as skipper.

Lala Amarnath was the first to do so, scoring 62 against the West Indies in 1948. Vijay Hazare had scored an unbeaten 164 against England in 1959. Hemu Adhikari made 63 against the West Indies in 1960. Nari Contractor scored 62 against Pakistan in 1960. The last to achieve this feat before Gill was Sunil Gavaskar, who had slammed 205 against the West Indies in 1978.
