Resuming Day 3 with an overnight score of 81, the hosts continued to dominate with Rishabh Pant’s Test resurgence (109) and Shubman Gill critics-shutting knock (119*), both registering their respective hundreds.
Pant, scored his sixth Test hundred off just 124 balls, equalling MS Dhoni’s record of most hundred in the longest format of the game for an Indian designated wicketkeeper, and all of that after a 634-day wait following his car crash in December 2022.
After he walked back to the pavilion, Gill raced to his fifth hundred in 161 balls. He eventually faced 176 balls to score 119, hitting ten fours and four sixes.
Brief Scores:
India 376 and 287/4 in 64 overs (Shubman Gill 119*, Rishabh Pant 109)
Bangladesh 1st innings: 149 all out.
