Sports News: On the second day of the first Test match against West Indies, Team India captain Shubman Gill delivered a stellar performance by scoring a half-century. This match marked Gill's first captaincy experience for Team India on Indian soil. By scoring a half-century, he equaled former legend Sunil Gavaskar's 47-year-old record and gave an impressive display of his leadership and batting skills.
Shubman Gill's Record
Shubman Gill has now become only the second Indian captain to score 50 runs or more in his captaincy debut match on home soil. Playing at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Shubman scored 50 runs off 100 balls with the help of 5 fours before getting out. This achievement matches Sunil Gavaskar's performance in 1978, when Gavaskar scored an innings of 205 runs in his first Test match as captain against West Indies at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
