Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant made this record
Shubman Gill, who is also inching closer towards his century, has bee joined by KL Rahul at the crease as four-down India aim to go past the 500-run lead. On the other hand, Bangladesh bowlers are eyeing some quick wickets, in order to bundle out India at the earliest. India have already extended their lead to 308 runs against the visitors. On Day 2, Yashasvi Jaiswal (10), Rohit Sharma (5) and Virat Kohli (17) were the wickets to fall in India's second innings in the game.
India have declared their innings at 287/4 after taking a lead by 514 runs. So, Bangladesh now need a whopping total of 515 runs to win the first Test of the two-match series. Shubman Gill (1198) and KL Rahul (22*) remained unbeaten for India at the declaration. Apart from them, Rishabh Pant also scored 109. We will be back in a few moments with Bangladesh's chase.
Moments after Gill brought up his century, the camera panned towards skipper Rohit Sharma in the dugout. Rohit was seen showing "five" to KL Rahul and Gill. It is highly likely that Team India will be declaring after reaching the 500-run mark.
Following Pant's footsteps, Shubman Gill also brings up his century. He takes a single off Mehidy Hasan Miraz's delivery and brings up his his fifth Test ton in 160 balls. A brilliant display of batting from Gill, who is also getting a good support from KL Rahul.
