KL Rahul scored an unbeaten century, and Shubman Gill contributed a half-century to give India a 56-run lead over the West Indies at lunch on day two at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Friday. India reached 218 for 3 in 67 overs after adding 97 runs in the morning session, with only Gill dismissed. Rahul survived an early edge that flew between slip and keeper before completing his second Test century at home with 100 runs off 192 balls.
Gill reached his eighth Test fifty before Roston Chase dismissed him for 50 off 100 balls after the opener attempted a reverse sweep. Rahul celebrated his century by raising his bat and placing two fingers in his mouth as a tribute to his daughter, born in March. Dhruv Jurel remained unbeaten on 14 at the interval alongside Rahul.
