Shubman Gill brought up his 5th Test match hundred in the ongoing India vs Bangladesh 1st Test match at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Gill got past the three-figure mark in Chennai on Day 3 in India's second innings in the series opener. While Gill had missed out on the 1st innings of the series opener, getting out for a duck off 8 balls, falling to Hasan Mahmud which attracted some cricticism on social media, the youngster responded in style by smashing a spectacular ton.
Gill, along with Rishabh Pant added 167 runs for the fourth wictet in the secoind innings. Both the batters eventually did go on to score respective hundreds. While Pant did get out soon after he got to a hundred perhaps in a bid to up the ante, sensing a declaration around the corner, falling for 109, Gill remained not out on 119 and walked back to the dressing room only after the decision was made to declare by captain Rohit Sharma.

Bangladesh Need 515 To Win In Chennai
The equation seems improbable for Bangladesh who will need to bat out of their skins and produce a record-breaking effort if they need to win this Test. The Bangla Tigers need 515 runs to win in Chennai. With well over two days remaining in the Test, the possibility of a draw seems very bleak.
Considering, Bangladesh were dismissed for 149 in the first innings and the fact that the Indian bowlers have enjoyed a good break, India would look to take the 10 wickets and claim a win to go 1-0 up in the series.
