MAIDEN CENTURY! What a way to bring up a century. Gill didn't want to waste much time. He steps out and smashes the ball over spinner Mehidy Hasan Miraz's head. He removes his helmet, stretches his arms and greets the crowd. His team-mates in the dressing room stand and applaud. What a moment for this young lad. He missed on a Test century in Brisbane last year and now added one to his stat.
Opener Shubman Gill is closing in on his maiden Test hundred as India reached 140 for 1 at tea on the third day to take complete control of the series-opener against Bangladesh. India now have an overall lead of 394 runs. Gill was batting on 80 in company of Cheteshwar Pujara (33 batting) as the duo added 70 for the unbroken second wicket stand after skipper KL Rahul (23) was the only wicket to fall in the session.
