Shubman Gill is on the verge to surpass Virat Kohli's huge record 

Team India opener Shubman Gill got out for a score of three runs in the first T20I played in Tarouba and now will aim to get back his lost touch in the second T20I match against Windies. Gill is also on the verge to surpass Virat Kohli's big record in the ongoing T20I series. Kohli, who hit his first T20I hundred against Afghanistan in the Asia Cup 2022, is not a part of the ongoing IND vs WI 2023 T20I series. 

Shubman Gill is the newest addition to the list of Indian cricketers to smash a hundred in the T20I format and played an innings of 126 runs off 63 balls in the third T20I against New Zealand earlier this year. If Gill hits a hundred against the Windies in the second T20I, he will get past Virat Kohli and level KL Rahul's record of two T20I hundreds.

What can be Team India's predicted XI in the IND vs WI 2nd T20I? 

The Indian cricket team's batting lineup failed to deliver as per the expectations in the first match in Tarouba, and there can be some changes to it in the second match. Sanju Samson can lose his spot in the Indian team and Ruturaj Gaikwad can be brought in his place. 

Apart from making changes to the batting lineup, Team India will be giving more chances to Yuzvendra Chahal as the leg spinner only bowled three overs in the previous match and also helped the team come back in the first innings. Chahal dismissed the Windies' openers on two consecutive balls and gave away just 24 runs in his whole bowling spell.
