Facing some friendly bowling from Shoaib Bashir in the 59th over, Shubman Gill unleashed a powerful slog-sweep, sending the ball sailing over the infield for a boundary.
This emphatic stroke not only sealed his fourth Test ton but also drew a proud reaction from his father, who was seen applauding from the stands. The young opener, who had endured a lean patch earlier in the series, has found his rhythm in Vizag and carried that form into Dharamshala.
Gill’s knock wasn’t the only highlight of the day. Captain Rohit Sharma, leading from the front, notched up his second century of the series, his 12th overall. Following a well-timed flick through midwicket off Tom Hartley, Rohit Sharma reached his three-figure mark, handing the strike back to Gill to complete his century shortly after.
