Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant batted brilliantly in the Chennai Test match. Both of them had a partnership of 167 runs against Bangladesh. During this partnership, Pant became a problem for Gill and was about to cause a big loss. To avoid this, Gill was keeping his bat away from him. Actually, Shubman Gill came for the press conference after the third day's play ended. During this, he revealed that he was playing with an old bat in the second innings. During the partnership of both, Pant was repeatedly punching his bat with his bat. Gill was afraid that his bat might break due to Pant's punch.

Said this thing after getting upset with Pant

Shubman Gill started the game on the third day on 33 runs and Rishabh Pant on 12 runs. Both played cautiously for the first few overs, then after settling down, they started attacking. Gill said that during this time, the boundary was not being hit, yet Pant was coming to him and punching the bat. This disturbed him and he finally told him 'calm down brother'. Let us tell you that Pant got out after scoring 109 runs. Gill also played an unbeaten innings of 119 runs. On the basis of this wonderful innings of both, Team India took a total lead of 514 runs.

Where did you get the inspiration to score a century?

Shubman Gill scored the fifth century of his Test career during the second innings in Chennai. During the press conference after the end of the third day's play, he revealed where he got the inspiration for this. Gill said that batting at number 3 has been beneficial for him.

Batting at this position during the England Test series had given him confidence. However, he got out without even opening his account in the first innings against Bangladesh. But he was very unhappy with the way he got out and this thing inspired him to play for a long time in the second innings, due to which he was able to score a century.

Gill's innings in discussion

Shubman Gill's century is in the news. The reason behind this is his success in the second innings. Actually, in any Test match, batting in the second innings of the team i.e. during the third or fourth innings of that match is not considered easy. Especially in the Indian subcontinent, the pitch starts breaking during this time and it becomes difficult to play due to the ball spinning.

On the other hand, Gill has performed better in the second innings than in the first innings so far. He has batted in the second innings 22 times in his Test career, in which he has scored 867 runs at an average of 51. This includes 3 centuries and 4 half-centuries.
