2nd Test: Gill’s ton, Jadeja’s strikes put India in control over Windies

Shubman Gill took over from where overnight centurion Yashasvi Jaiswal left off, leading India’s charge with his 10th Test hundred to propel the hosts to a commanding 518 for 5 declared on Day 2 of the second and final Test against the West Indies at the Arun Jaitley Stadium here on Saturday. Left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja then stifled the visitors with three wickets to leave them reeling at 140 for 4 at stumps, still trailing by 378 runs.

Resuming the day with a strong foundation, laid by Jaiswal’s century, India made the most of ideal batting conditions. The left-handed opener looked poised for a double century before an unfortunate mix-up with Gill, cut short his stay on 175. Looking to pinch a quick single after tapping the ball to mid-off, Jaiswal was left stranded mid-pitch as Gill sent him back too late. The opener walked off visibly distraught, missing what could have been his third Test double ton.
