Shubman Gill's second Test century on Saturday, which was his first on home soil, was a determined knock because the young Indian opener "didn't want to miss the opportunity by playing a bad shot" on a batting track.
The pitch used for the fourth Test between India and Australia at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad has been the best of the four pitches used in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy by a distance. And getting his chance in place of the out-of-form KL Rahul, Gill wanted to make the most of it. He went on to score a patient 128 off 235 balls.
