Gill and Jadeja put India in charge against West IndiesIndia captain Shubman Gill struck his fifth test hundred of the year before watching his spinner Ravindra Jadeja wreck the West Indies top order to put the hosts firmly in charge of the second and final test on Saturday. Gill made 129 not out to power India to a commanding 518-5 before the 26-year-old declared on the second day. The home side, chasing a 2-0 series sweep, reduced West Indies to 140-4 with left-armer Jadeja (3-37) leading the way. The elegant right-hander hit West Indies counterpart Roston Chase for six and struck Khary Pierre for three fours in an over. Chanderpaul (34) and Alick Athanaze (41) forged a 66-run partnership before Jadeja struck again, dismissing Chanderpaul and Chase, and taking a catch to end Athanaze's promising knock.
