Opener Shubman Gill brought up a wonderful century, also his second ton in Test cricket
At tea, India reached 188/2 in 63 overs and trail Australia by 292 runs on day threes play in the fourth match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series at Narendra Modi Stadium on Saturday
Gill is currently unbeaten on 103 off 197 balls, his first Test hundred in India
His innings was laced with ten fours and a six, with Virat Kohli giving him company after facing four balls in the session as Cheteshwar Pujara fell at the stroke of tea to Todd Murphy
The start of the second session for Gill was exquisite, closing the face of the bat at the right moment to clip Cameron Green through mid-on for four
Pujara, on the other hand, used the pace from Green’s short ball to guide it fine for four
From there, Australia kept Gill and Pujara in check for 97 balls. But the duo managed to negotiate a tricky phase really well when Australia dried up the runs and never lost their calm
Gill then broke the shackles in the 57th over with back-to-back boundaries – a punch on back foot through cover was followed by a sumptuous cover-drive between mid-off and cover
