India vs West Indies Test 2025: Gill Anchors India’s Massive Total
A composed hundred from Shubman Gill guided India to a strong position in the India vs West Indies Test 2025. The Indian skipper remained unbeaten on 129, leading from the front after Yashasvi Jaiswal’s unfortunate run-out early in the day. Gill’s innings was filled with elegant drives, short-arm cuts, and flicks that kept the scoreboard ticking at a steady pace.
The partnerships with Nitish Kumar Reddy and Dhruv Jurel proved crucial. Reddy’s quick 43 and Jurel’s confident 40 provided solid support as India maintained control. The declaration at 518 for 5 reflected India’s confidence. Gill brought up his fifth Test century as captain — his tenth overall. Notably, he also equaled the record for the most hundreds by an Indian captain in a calendar year.
India vs West Indies Test 2025: Jadeja and Kuldeep Make Early Breakthroughs
Following the declaration, the Indian bowlers took charge in the India vs West Indies Test. Ravindra Jadeja struck thrice to dismantle the visitors’ middle order. Kuldeep Yadav added one more to keep the pressure on. Although West Indies managed their first fifty-run stand of the series, their innings soon faltered against India’s spin duo.
Alick Athanaze’s fighting 41 stood out as a rare positive for the tourists, who struggled once Jadeja and Kuldeep found rhythm. Their dismissals included Roston Chase’s soft return catch and Athanaze’s mistimed slog-sweep. Both were pivotal in shifting momentum India’s way.
