Shubman Gill scales new peaks as India captain
Shubman Gill emulated Virat Kohli by scoring his fifth century as captain in a calendar year, leading India to a commanding 518/5 declared. Despite a run-out controversy involving Yashasvi Jaiswal, Gill's elegant 129 and contributions from lower-order batsmen set a strong foundation. The West Indies showed brief defiance but were reduced to 140/4 by Jadeja and Kuldeep.
