Day 2 of the first Test between India and the West Indies in Ahmedabad witnessed Ravindra Jadeja etching his name in the record books, surpassing MS Dhoni in a significant Test record. Meanwhile, Shubman Gill, leading the Indian side, emulated a feat previously achieved by the legendary Sunil Gavaskar.

Ravindra Jadeja, the Indian all-rounder, has now become the fourth-highest six-hitter for India in Test cricket. During his innings on Day 2, Jadeja hit his 79th six in Test matches, moving past Dhoni's 78 sixes, which the former captain had hit in 90 Tests. Jadeja reached this milestone in his 86th Test match. The list is currently led by Rohit Sharma (88 sixes in 67 Tests), followed by Virender Sehwag (90 sixes in 103 Tests) and Rishabh Pant (90 sixes in 47 Tests). Jadeja's unbeaten 50 off 81 balls, which included four sixes against Jomel Warrican, further solidified India's position in the ongoing Test. This is Jadeja's seventh fifty-plus score in Tests in 2025, the most by any Indian batter this year. In the seven Tests and 13 innings he has played this year, he has scored 605 runs at an average of 75.62, including one century and six fifties. He is also nearing 4,000 Test runs.

Shubman Gill, who is leading India in this series, has been in tremendous form. While details of Gill's specific achievement in this match are not available in the provided context, it's noted that he has broken a 54-year-old record held by Gavaskar. Gill now holds the record for the most runs in a Test match by an Indian batter, surpassing Gavaskar's 344 runs scored against West Indies in Port of Spain in 1971. Gill is also the second Asian batter to score 350-plus aggregate in a Test outside the subcontinent. This Test series against the West Indies marks the beginning of India's home season and is crucial for their World Test Championship (WTC) ambitions. Gill has emphasized the importance of taking every Test seriously to gain maximum points.
