India cricket team star Shubman Gill’s prolific run in Tests continues as he slammed yet another ton in the IND vs WI 2nd Test. The century marked his 12th in the longest format of the game and his 5th after taking over as captain of the side. With this ton, Gill now joins Virat Kohli on the list of most centuries scored by Indian captains in a year and has the ability to very well extend the lead at the top of the table, given that India have two more Tests this year after the ongoing match.
Gill cements position as leading run-getter in WTC for India
Gill has struck 16 fours and two sixes en route to breaching the triple-figure mark in the ongoing IND vs WI 2nd Test.
