[WATCH] Shubman Gill collides with West Indies' wicket-keeper while taking single during IND vs WI 2nd Test
Watch the video where the Indian Test captain, Shubman Gill, has collided with the wicket-keeper of the West Indies side, Tevin Imlach, during the opening day of the second Test at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.
Everything went India’s way on the opening day of the second Test of the two-match series against the West Indies at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. Yashasvi Jaiswal smashed a huge knock of over 150 runs and remained unbeaten to continue with the same flow on the second day, along with the captain, Shubman Gill.
However, a fatal accident took place during the 85th over of the day when Yashasvi Jaiswal flicked Anderson Phillip to the mid-wicket fielder and rushed for a single. The fielder made a brilliant stop and threw the ball at the wicket-keeper, Tevin Imlach, who ran from his position to collect the ball.
While he was doing that, Gill rushed in to complete the single. He didn’t see the keeper and banged into his right shoulder. The first impression was not good for both players as they somehow managed to gather themselves. The physios from both camps ran in for medical treatment. After a couple of minutes, they looked well and restarted the job.

Gill won the toss for the very first time in his Test captaincy and decided to bat on a good surface to pile up the runs. They didn’t make any change and decided to go with an unchanged eleven, while West Indies made two changes by bringing Imlach and Philip into the side.
Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul provided them a great start with the bat before the former posted another huge partnership with Sai Sudharsan for the second wicket. The latter missed out on his well-deserved century by 13 runs while Jaiswal ended the day with an unbeaten 173 runs, thanks to 22 boundaries. It’s the fourth most runs by an Indian opener on the first day of a Test match.
India posted 318/2 in their 90 overs as Gill remained on 20 runs. For most of the second half of the day, he kept his defensive mindset. India has already taken a lead of 1-0 in this series thanks to their victory by an innings and 140 runs in Ahmedabad.
