India are up against Bangladesh and have a strong hold on the first IND vs BAN Test at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Indian batters and bowlers have contributed equally well to help India get on the driver’s seat in the match against Bangladesh. One of the standout performances with the bat came from Shubman Gill as he scored his fifth Test century, who had been struggling with form in Test cricket recently. So much so, that one of his shots left his teammate KL Rahul in awe.
A video of KL Rahul reacting to one of Shubman Gill’s shots during Day 3 of the IND vs BAN Test in Chennai has gone viral. In the video, Rahul can be seen sitting in the Indian dugout when Gill plays a pull shot to Bangladesh’s Nahid Rana for a boundary and reacts giving an expression full of awe. Indian men’s cricket team head coach Gautam Gambhir can also be seen in the video clapping for Gill after the shot.
