Gill looks in no hurry to reach the three figure mark, happy to collect singles to get to the landmark.
The two batters easily pick four singles from Chase's 15th over.
Gill keeps strike with a single from the last ball down to long-on, to take his score to 98.
West Indies could bring in a couple of fielders inside the circle to prevent Gill from taking the singles but they seem happy with a well spread out field.
Another single to Gill off Pierre to take his score to 99 and Jurel hands him the strike back off the next ball with another run.
Gill rocks back to cut Pierre in the gap through the covers for three runs to complete his century from 177 balls.
Gill registers his 10th Test century and his fifth as captain. He continues his dream run in 2025 with his fifth hundred of the year, to match the feat by Virat Kohli, who also got five centuries as India captain in 2017.
Infact, Kohli achieved the feat twice -- five centuries as captain in back to back years in 2017 and 2018.
