Rishabh Pant made an instant impact on his comeback to red-ball cricket with a sublime match-winning century against Bangladesh in the first Test at Chepauk. The left-handed batter donned the Indian team whites after over 600 days after his horrific car accident.

"Coming back to Test cricket, where I belong the most, being on the field gives me pleasure more than anything else.I tried to read the situation in my own way, When you are 30-3, you need to stitch a partnership and that's what I did with Gill. To do it with a guy who I have a great relationship with is special," he said.

Having come together as a batting pair for the first time in their careers at the end of Day 2, Gill and Pant – who had led India at Under-19 levels – had the whole of Day Three to assert their spot.
