Like in the first innings, India’s batting stint in their second dig was dominated by one figure. If it was Yashasvi Jaiswal who was the fulcrum then, Shubman Gill took it upon himself to bind the innings together on Sunday at the ACA-VDCA Stadium.
Perhaps batting for his place in the XI, the stylish No. 3 produced his first meaningful Test knock in more than seven months. That it burgeoned into three-figures must have been particularly pleasing for the management group. Gill’s third ton, typically subliminal once he had ridden early luck, hauled India to 255 on the middle day of the second Test, extending their overall advantage to 398.
