Chattogram, Dec 16, Opener Shubman Gill on Friday reached his maiden Test hundred in style, dancing down the pitch to loft over mid-on for a one-bounce four off Mehidy Hasan Miraz on day three of the first Test match between India and Bangladesh at Chattogram.
Though he would get out to the off-spinner for 110, Gill hit eight fours and two sixes on his way despite not being fluent at the start of the innings, with the shot to get the century being the pick of the lot.
"It was very instinctive (to hit a couple of boundaries and get to the milestone). When the bowler came round the wicket, there was a gap between third man and point. I hadn't played it the whole innings. And once the field came in, I went over the fielders," said Gill to broadcasters at the end of day three's play.
