Shubman Gill displayed a mix of composure and attacking play, with the number three batter scoring 10 fours and 4 sixes in his knock, which kept entertaining the crowd at regular intervals.
It was the mindful partnership between Rishabh Pant and Shubman Gill from the start of day three that anchored the Indian innings and secured them a 514-run lead on the day.
Setting Bangladesh a target of 515 in the 1st Test, the hosts would like to make sure that they avoid any slip-ups and not let Bangladesh get into the game with wickets at regular intervals.
