At long last, Shubman Gill has broken his toss jinx! The young skipper finally won the toss for the first time in his Test captaincy career, opting to bat first in the second Test against the West Indies in Delhi.
After enduring six consecutive losses – five in England and one in the series opener against Windies – the streak has finally ended. India have decided to stick with the same playing XI that featured in the first Test as they aim to wrap up the series in style.
India’s quest for 10th consecutive Test series win
India begin their quest for a 10th consecutive Test series win over the West Indies today.
The Caribbean side last triumphed in a Test series against India back in 2002, and since then, India have dominated the rivalry, clinching all nine series played between the two teams. Remarkably, the West Indies have not managed a single Test victory over India in more than two decades.
