These could be early days yet but for a top-order Test batsman, Shubman Gill already scores at a faster tempo than both run-machines Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. The flamboyant Indian opener, who is known for his penchant for accumulating big runs, scored his maiden Test century at home in the ongoing fourth and final Test of the Border-Gavaskar Series. Having slammed a timely 128 off 235 balls on Day Three on Saturday, Gill said he was determined to not play a loose shot on the most batting friendly pitch.
"Honestly, I was thinking I don`t know when next I will get a wicket like this. I didn`t want to miss the opportunity by playing a bad shot. That`s what going through my mind," Gill told his teammate Cheteshwar Pujara in an interview posted on bcci.tv. "It feels great to be able to get a Test hundred in India. This is my first one, and to be able to get it in India which is my home ground in the IPL, is amazing."
