Indian skipper Shubman Gill lit up the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Day 2 of the second Test against West Indies, notching up his 10th Test century. The stylish batter reached the three-figure mark in 177 deliveries, putting India in a commanding position.
The latest century marked a significant chapter in Gill’s blossoming career, as he now holds the record for the most centuries by an Indian batter in WTC history, overtaking Rohit Sharma’s tally of nine. This was also his fifth Test century in 2025, making him only the second Indian captain to score five Test centuries in a single calendar year.
He equals the feat previously accomplished by Kohli during his golden run in 2017-2018. Kohli had accomplished this milestone twice during his tenure, in 2017 and again in 2018.
Five Test hundreds in a calendar year by an Indian captain:
Virat Kohli – 2017
Virat Kohli – 2018
Shubman Gill – 2025
