After 64 years and 10 months, Team India broke a remarkable record in Test cricket. (BCCI Photo) NEW DELHI: After 64 years and 10 months, Team India broke a remarkable record in Test cricket. For the first time in over six decades, India recorded 50+ partnerships for each of the first five wickets in a Test innings. This elite feat had previously been achieved by India against England at Mumbai in 1993 and against Australia at Ahmedabad in 2023. On the other hand, the last time an opposition achieved this against West Indies was way back in 1960, when Australia did it in the tied Test at the Gabba.India captain Shubman Gill won the toss and chose to bat in the second Test against West Indies at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. Opener Yashasvi Jaiswal played a magnificent knock of 175, only falling to a run-out orchestrated by Chanderpaul and Tevin Imlach. KL Rahul contributed a quick 38, while Sai Sudharsan narrowly missed out on a century, scoring 87. Shubman Gill anchored the innings with a brilliant 129 not out, marking his 10th Test century.This dominant batting performance followed Indiaâ€s emphatic victory in the first Test at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, where they won by an innings and 140 runs, taking a 1-0 lead in the two-match series.Looking at the broader numbers, there have been 25 Test centuries in the last 14 India vs West Indies Tests since 2013, with 23 coming from Indian batters. Roston Chase remains the only West Indies player to reach three figures during this period, having done it twice.
