Shubman Gill, on Saturday (March 11), once again showed his immense capabilities with the bat as he smashed a stunning century in the ongoing fourth Test between India and Australia at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad.

The youngster, however, has made the most of the opportunity by scoring his first Test ton at home in the ongoing game. Thanks to his impressive knock at the top of the order, India have have replied strongly to Australia’s huge first innings total of 480 runs.
