After winning the toss, Gill opted to bat first, retaining the same playing XI that had dominated the first Test in Ahmedabad by an innings and 140 runs. The moment sparked joyous celebrations within the team. Coach <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/gautam-gambhir\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gautam Gambhir<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/axar-patel\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Axar Patel<\/a>, and Ravindra Jadeja shared light-hearted banter about the long-awaited toss win. As Gill walked back to his teammates, someone shouted, \u201cWell done, Gill!\u201d Gambhir joked that Jasprit Bumrah had already marked his run-up, expecting yet another lost toss. Bumrah added, \u201cMiyan (Siraj) and I, both,\u201d prompting laughter from the squad.<\/p>\n<p>India players unwind at head coach Gautam Gambhir\u2019s residence | Massive crowd greets them<\/p>\n<p>Click here to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BCCI\/status\/1976621093390860295\" rel=\"noopener nofollow noreferrer\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" target=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\">watch the video<\/a> Reflecting on the streak, Gill said, \u201cOut of the seven Tests, we got what we wanted in four of them. We wanted to bowl in the previous match, and we got to bowl. Now, batting in this one. Toss se farak nahi hai, jo chaiye wo milega\u201d (The toss doesn\u2019t matter; we\u2019ll get what we want), showing his relaxed approach despite the leadership role. India made the most of the decision on day one, posting an imposing 318\/2 in 90 overs. Yashasvi Jaiswal scored an unbeaten 173, while Sai Sudharsan contributed a career-best 87, giving India a strong platform. Speaking about the match and his captaincy, Gill said, \u201cThe wicket looks good; we want to pile on the runs. Consistency is key \u2014 to repeat and maintain performances. Captaincy hasn\u2019t changed me much; there are more responsibilities now, and I like that. Very exciting future for me.\u201d<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Gautam Gambhir, Shubman Gill, and Jasprit Bumrah (X) Shubman Gill celebrated his first Test toss victory as India\u2019s&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":488683,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4101],"tags":[161408,18666,1406,5709,95499,160442,11539,6671,34926,79,16,15,26790],"class_list":{"0":"post-488682","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cricket","8":"tag-axar-patel","9":"tag-bcci","10":"tag-cricket","11":"tag-gautam-gambhir","12":"tag-gill","13":"tag-india-vs-west-indies","14":"tag-jasprit-bumrah","15":"tag-ravindra-jadeja","16":"tag-shubman-gill","17":"tag-sports","18":"tag-uk","19":"tag-united-kingdom","20":"tag-yashasvi-jaiswal"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115350638175302526","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/488682","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=488682"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/488682\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/488683"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=488682"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=488682"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=488682"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
