Shubman Gill Century marks his return back to form– On Sunday, Shubman Gill marked a triumphant return to form by notching a crucial century for Team India during the second innings of the ongoing second Test against England in Visakhapatnam.
Facing significant pressure after a series of Test disappointments and a lack of centuries in red-ball cricket since March of the previous year, the right-handed batsman had struggled in the initial stages of the series with scores of 23 and 0 in the first Test, and being dismissed for 34 in the first innings of the current Test.
When he came to bat on day three, India was reeling at 30 for 2 after quick dismissals of Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal by James Anderson. Shubman Gill, however, rose to the challenge, surviving early scares to compile a noteworthy innings of 104 runs, featuring 11 fours and 2 sixes. His century proved crucial for Team India, as no other batter managed to score even a half-century in the innings # Shubman Gill Century
After the day’s play, Shubman Gill expressed his satisfaction at finding form in Test cricket again. He acknowledged the early luck that went his way, stating, “When you are not scoring runs for three, four matches, you need that bit of luck, and I got that.” Emphasizing the role of patience and sticking to basics, he added, “I’m very happy that I was able to convert it into 100.”
Shubman Gill also highlighted the significance of scoring the century in front of his father, who was present in the stands, saying, “It’s really satisfying and really pleasing. He’s someone who has always supported me, he’s always seen my journey through, and it’s very pleasing to be able to score runs in front of him.” # Shubman Gill Century
