Shubman Gill won his first toss as the Indian captain on Friday during the second Test against West Indies at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Having taken over the reins from Rohit Sharma in the longest format, Gill lost all his five tosses in England in July. He had also lost the toss during the first Test in Ahmedabad against West Indies.
In the process, Gill equalled New Zealand's Tom Latham for most Tests as captain before winning a toss. Both Latham and Gill have lost six tosses before winning one. New Zealand's Bevan Congdon holds the record for most toss losses (seven) before winning his first.
Upon winning the toss, Gill was greeted with laugh and laughter by his head coach Gautam Gambhir and teammates Jasprit Bumrah, Axar Patel, Ravindra Jadeja to name a few.
