The Independent Voice of West Indies Cricket
India have declared. A dominant batting display after opting to bat. Yashasvi Jaiswal top-scored with 175 and his innings was cut short courtesy a run-out. Gill, who was largely defensive yesterday, batted fluently today to notch up his 10th Test century.
