Shubman Gill Produces Captaincy Magic With Field Setting, Takes a Stunner To Outsmart West Indies Opener in IND vs WI 2nd Test [WATCH]

India skipper Shubman Gill gave a sheer testament to his tactical brilliance to dent the West Indies early in their second innings in the ongoing IND vs WI 2nd Test.

After giving a follow-on, India wanted to get early breakthroughs to put the visitors under further trouble. To do that, Gill planned the outcome with a clever fielding setting for openers Tagenarine Chanderpaul and John Campbell.

With the pacers in action, Gill put six men on the on-side, forcing the two left-handers to fight the urge to play a pull shot anytime a shortish delivery was bowled.

The trap worked as Chanderpaul ended up mistiming a pull shot on the third ball of the ninth over and Gill completed a diving stunner at midwicket to accomplish the plan.

Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal centuries, Kuldeep Yadav fifer put India on course for series whitewash

Speaking about the IND vs WI 2nd Test, the hosts are currently in a dominating position after giving a follow-on to West Indies.

Batting first, centuries from Yashasvi Jaiswal (175) and Shubman Gill (129), coupled with Sai Sudharsan’s fifty (87), helped India post a towering first innings total of 518/5d.

It was then Kuldeep Yadav’s magic, who spun his web around the West Indies batters to take his fifth five-wicket haul in Tests and finish with figures of 5/82 in 26.5 overs. The Roston Chase-led side were eventually bundled out for 248 and India opted to enforce the follow-on.

At the time of writing this report, West Indies have already lost two wickets and the India bowlers will be hoping to make further inroads in the final session of Day 3’s play.

India have already won the opener in Ahmedabad and are eyeing to secure a whitewash in Delhi, which will give the side a much-needed boost in the World Test Championship (WTC) standings.
