India captain Shubman Gill led by example as he slammed his century on Day 2 of the ongoing second Test against the West Indies at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Saturday, October 11. The right-handed batter took 177 balls to bring up his 10th Test ton, first against WI. His innings comprised 13 fours and a six.

The achievement came in the 130th over of India’s first innings and the 14th over after lunch break. Khary Pierre bowled a length ball outside off, and Gill punched it to cover point, and a misfield resulted in three runs. Gill removed his cap and raised his bat as the crowd, teammates, and support staff stood up to applaud. The 26-year-old also got a hug from batting partner wicketkeeper-batter Dhruv Jurel. However, there was no trademark bow celebration from the Indian skipper.

Shubman Gill has been exceptional with the bat in Tests this year. Earlier this year, the right-hander amassed 754 runs in the five-match Test series in England, including a double century and three tons. The No. 4 batter followed that up with a fifty in the first Test against WI.
