Shubman Gill Century: Indian captain Shubman Gill is showing excellent form in Test cricket. On the basis of his strong century against West Indies, he has equaled the legendary batsman Virat Kohli, while leaving Rohit Sharma behind.
Team India’s Test captain Shubman Gill is in amazing form at the moment, where he has once again delivered a brilliant innings with his bat. He has equaled the special record of veteran batsman Virat Kohli with a strong century against West Indies at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. His innings of 129 runs played in 196 balls included 16 fours and two sixes.
Gill equaled Virat
This is Gill’s fifth Test century as captain and with this he has equaled Virat in terms of scoring five centuries in a calendar year. Virat has done this work not once but twice. In the years 2017 and 2018, he had made this amazing record in his name. Before scoring a century against West Indies, Gill had scored 4 centuries each in the same series against England. The big thing is that this was his first Test series as captain.
Gill left Rohit behind
This 26-year-old player has now become the player to score the most centuries for India in the history of the World Test Championship (WTC). The century against West Indies in Delhi is the 10th century of his career. With this, he left behind the record of nine centuries in the World Test Championship of Rohit Sharma, who retired earlier this year.
Apart from this, on the basis of his innings, he has also left behind the great batsman Sachin Tendulkar, who had scored four centuries while being the Test captain of India in 1997. In this matter, Australia’s legendary captain Ricky Ponting is on top, who scored seven centuries in 2006.
