India batter Shubman Gill revealed a hilarious story about Rishabh Pant from the Chennai Test match. Shubman said that he asked Rishabh Pant to calm down after the wicketkeeper came to tap bats while celebrating during their partnership.

Chennai: Shubman Gill on Saturday went old-school in using his feet to nullify Bangladesh spinners on a pitch that had a hint of variable bounce, and the India batter said it was a part of his meticulous approach to unsettle the visiting tweakers.

Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant were in full flow on the third morning of the opening Test match against Bangladesh, with the two batters succeeding in bringing up their respective centuries after coming into bat having remained not-out overnight.

Shubman Gill and Rishab Pant hit centuries to keep India in pole position to notch up a victory against Bangladesh in the Chennai Test. Chasing an improbable 515-run for a victory, Bangladesh reached 158-4 before the bad light put an end to the Day 3 earlier than the scheduled time at M Chidambaram Stadium today.

Shubman Gill said that he found pleasure in seeing Rishabh Pant scoring his 6th Test hundred after comeback to Test cricket. Gill was also content with his performance in 1st Test vs Bangladesh.

Shubman Gill admitted that the series against England, where he scored nearly 500 runs, boosted his self-confidence in the longest format of the game.
