Shubman Gill scored his third Test century on Sunday after a gap of 11 months, putting an end to his 12-innings drought during the second Test against England.
The century comes at a time when India’s top order was shattered in the second innings. Rohit Sharma and in-form Yashasvi Jaiswal couldn’t get past 20.
In the match at Visakhapatnam’s VDCA stadium, Gill bagged his ton in his 132nd delivery in the 52nd over, smashing two sixes and 11 fours.
Gill’s previous century was a 128-strong ton against Australia in Ahmedabad in March 2023 and his first ton in Test cricket was against Bangladesh in 2022, when he hit a 110.
