In a critical situation for the Indian team, he scored a valuable 90 runs, making this innings even more significant than a century. With this performance, the young opener has also surpassed experienced Test player Cheteshwar Pujara.

Partnership with Rishabh Pant

Shubman Gill played a crucial role in stabilizing the innings, especially after India lost four wickets on the first day. All eyes were on Gill during the second day of play, and he did not disappoint. His 90-run innings helped revive Team India’s innings during a challenging time. The 95-run partnership he formed with Pant for the fifth wicket proved invaluable and significantly helped change the course of the match, making it a crucial contribution for the team.
