Shubman Gill ultimately experienced success at the toss as India's Test captain in the second Test against the West Indies at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Friday (October 10). This was Gill's first time winning a toss in his Test career, and the experience soon became the subject of laughter for his teammates and head coach Gautam Gambhir. For perspective, Gill had lost the toss in all five matches of the 2025 Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series against England, his first series as captain, and the first Test against the West Indies in Ahmedabad. That equaled six consecutive tosses lost, the highest by any Indian Test captain in the beginning of their career, surpassing Kapil Dev's record of five straight losses. Gill narrowly escaped an unwanted world record last Friday because the record is held by New Zealand's Bevan Congdon for the most consecutive toss defeats (seven). If he had lost, Gill would have matched Congdon's record. Gambhir, Bumrah, and Siraj's Hilarious Reaction Once Gill eventually won the toss, his Indian camp could not help but pull his leg. The BCCI posted a video of the team's amusing reactions with the head coach Gautam Gambhir at the forefront of the laughter. Gambhir gestured teasingly at Jasprit Bumrah, indicating that the pacer had already staked his run-up, presuming Gill would lose the toss again and India would be bowling first. Bumrah then chuckled and nodded towards Mohammed Siraj, indicating that he was also willing to bowl since that was the team's expectation following Gill's recent streak of tosses. To the jokes, Gill responded with, "We get to do what we want anyway, so it doesn't really matter," demonstrating his sense of humor after ending the streak at last.

Yashasvi Jaiswal was the pick of the bunch, hammering an untamed 173, his seventh Test century, as Sai Sudharsan extended his good work with a calm 87. Gill, on the other hand, was left not out on 20 and will continue from where he left on Day 2 as India look to complete a 2-0 series sweep. Gill's initial toss victory as captain may be a minor milestone, but it boosted the team's spirits, with Gambhir and the players having a light-hearted moment to cherish.
