Shubman Gill's Young India On The Verge Of Breaching New Landmark Against West Indies, Dissecting The Head-To-Head Record Of Both Teams

Shubman Gill-led India is all set to lock horns with Roston Chase's West Indies in a two-match Test series that starts on September 2, 2025. The first Test match of the series will be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, and this is one venue where Shubman Gill loves to play.

India silenced their detractors after they put up a dominant performance in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series. The away England series marked the first time in 12 years that the Indian Test team was without the services of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Cheteshwar Pujara in the longest format of the game. India are currently on the third spot of the World Test Championship (WTC) 2027 points table, and they will fancy their chances of entering the top two.
