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.

Speaking at the press conference at the end of the day's play, Gill recalled that during celebrations of their milestones, Pant was trying to touch his bat with Gill's bat, but the right-hander asked Pant to not do so since he was "trying to save the bat" he has been using since the series against England earlier this year.

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 made history as the first batsman to score a century in the second innings after being dismissed for a duck in the first innings against 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.

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.
