Shubman Gill smashes his maiden Test Ton in the first Test against Bangladesh
After getting out to a false shot in the first innings of the first Test against Bangladesh, Shubman Gill made sure that he makes the most of the opportunity in the second innings as he went on to score his maiden century in Test cricket.
Opening the batting, Gill showed great grit and courage as he batted sensibly and along with the solid defensive technique, he punished bad balls as well. He looked very solid as he rearily mistimed the ball.
After skipper Rahul got out, Gill took matters into his own hands as he then batted aggressively and paved his way through his fifth Test century. However, he didn’t let the milestone carry him away as he batted with a lot of concentration and smashed some staggering boundaries as well.
Gill smashed a century in just 146 balls and then perished after scoring 110 runs. Notably, this innings by him made his case strong for the opening position in the team. His tally of 110 runs is the highest individual score by an Indian opener in Tests in 2022.

Long way to go but I would be surprised if he doesn't go on to break some big records. Haven't seen a player his age have such batting control irrespective of the conditions. https://t.co/s0w50j5sdR
