The 23 year old Gill also featured in yet another fantastic 113 run stand for the second wicket alongside Cheteshwar Pujara before Mehidy broke the partnership by dismissing the former. Gill top edging a slog sweep to substitute Mahmudul Hasan Joy for a brilliant 110.
Pujara remained unbeaten on 102 when KL Rahul brought the innings to a close by declaring India’s innings at 258/2, thereby setting Bangladesh a massive target of 513 runs to chase.
