After a streak of bad luck, Shubman Gill finally won a toss! As captain in the second Test against West Indies, his teammates couldn't help but tease him about it. It was a moment of levity amidst the serious business of cricket.

Gill's Toss Troubles Finally End

Let's be honest, Gill's toss record wasn't pretty. After losing all five tosses during the tour of England, and then another in the first Test against the West Indies, it seemed like the coin was permanently stuck on tails. This victory at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi was a much-needed change of fortune. It was his first win as skipper!

Teammates React with Hilarious Banter

The Indian team's reaction to Gill's toss win was priceless. Jasprit Bumrah and Gautam Gambhir joined in the fun, playfully ribbing the young captain. Even the typically stone-faced Gambhir couldn't resist a smile. The camaraderie was evident, and it was a reminder that even in high-pressure situations, there's always room for a bit of humor.

Twitter Goes Wild

Of course, Twitter didn't miss out on the action. From congratulatory messages to hilarious memes, the platform was flooded with reactions to Gill's toss win. It was a trending topic, and everyone wanted to share their thoughts on this momentous occasion.

India Bats First, Unchanged XI

Gill's luck at the toss allowed India to bat first. The team decided to go with an unchanged XI from the first Test, signaling confidence in their winning combination. West Indies, on the other hand, made two changes, hoping to turn their fortunes around after a heavy defeat in the first Test.

A Change of Pace... in Long Valley?

Okay, unrelated, but while we're on the topic of coin tosses, let's spare a thought for the Long Valley First Aid Squad and their annual coin toss. Apparently, they get some interesting currency – $2 bills, Eurocoins, you name it. It's a far cry from the high-stakes world of international cricket, but every little bit helps, right?

So, there you have it. Shubman Gill finally wins a toss, the team celebrates with playful banter, and Twitter explodes with memes. It's all part of the unpredictable and often hilarious world of cricket. Here's hoping Gill's toss luck continues, and maybe, just maybe, he'll start collecting some unusual coins too!
