    Shubman Gill shines against Bangladesh, clocks fifth Test century: Stats

    What's the story

    Shubman Gill, the 25-year-old batting sensation, has made a remarkable comeback in the ongoing first Test against Bangladesh at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

    After a disappointing duck in the first innings, Gill bounced back by smashing his fifth Test century.

    He achieved this feat during India's second innings on Day 3 of the Chepauk Test.

    Aggressive approach

    A stunning hand from Gill 

    Gill entered after Rohit Sharma's departure in the third over, and he faced added pressure when Yashasvi Jaiswal also left the field with India at 28/2.

    Gill and Virat Kohli then added 39 runs before Mehidy trapped the latter.

    The former finally found a potent partner in fellow centurion Rishabh Pant, with whom he recorded a 167-run stand.

    Their brilliance meant India declared at 287/4, setting Bangladesh a target of 515 runs.

    Determined display

    Gill's determination in 2nd innings

    Gill showed his determination for a longer stay in the second innings, applying himself beautifully to showcase his class.

    Notably, he was unbeaten on 33 at stumps on Day 2. The batter continued the good work on Day 3 and brought up a fine hundred.

    Gill was particularly aggressive against the spinners as he even hit Mehidy Hasan Miraz for two successive sixes.

    Consistent performance

    Gill's impressive record at number 3

    Despite initial struggles, Gill has proven his worth as a number three batsman.

    He has scored three centuries and two fifties in his last eight innings at this position.

    As per ESPNcricinfo, he has raced to 617 Test runs this year at a sensational average of 56.09.

    Meanwhile, this was Gill's second Test hundred against Bangladesh as he now has 276 runs against them at 55.20.

    Career

    1,500 Test runs for Gill 

    Gill returned unbeaten on 119 off 176 balls, having smoked 10 boundaries and four maximums.

    With his eighth run, the youngster completed 1,500 (now 1,611) Test runs. Gill touched the 1,500-run mark in his 26th Test.

    While the Indian batter averages 37.46 in the format, his tally now includes five tons and six half-centuries.

    At home, he has 988 Test runs at 44.90.
