MS Dhoni, one of India's most successful captains, is considered to have a lucky number of seven, and this number has proven to be a lucky winner for Shubman Gill. Gill is playing his second series as the Indian Test captain, and bad luck has deserted him in the second Test of this series.
Indian captain Gill won the toss and elected to bat first in the second Test against the West Indies, being played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. Gill has made no changes to his playing XI. India will field the same 11 players as in the Ahmedabad Test.
This is the first time.
Gill captained the Indian team on the tour of England. Gill's captaincy was effective in this five-match Test series, and India drew the series 2-2. Gill did not win a single toss in this series. He did not win the toss in Ahmedabad either. However, the coin fell in Gill's favor in Delhi, his seventh Test as captain, and with this, he won his first toss.
When Gill returned to his team after winning the toss, his teammates mocked him, saying, "Finally, Gill won the toss." The toss is crucial in cricket, and that's why winning it is considered crucial. Players have no say in it. It all depends on luck, and Gill's luck has turned in the seventh Test.
Playing XI of both teams
India - Shubman Gill (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudarshan, Dhruv Jurel (wicketkeeper), Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj
West Indies - Roston Chase (captain), John Campbell, Tegnarin Chanderpaul, Alick Athanase, Shai Hope, Tevin Imlach (wicketkeeper), Justin Greaves, Jomel Warrican, Khary Pierre, Anderson Phillip, Jayden Seales
