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 scored an unbeaten 119 against Bangladesh, helping India declare at 287 for four in their second innings. His strategy included stepping out to counter spinners on a variable pitch, a technique he has practiced since childhood.

Following his century in the first Test against Bangladesh, Shubman Gill recounted a humorous incident with Rishabh Pant during their 167-run partnership. Centuries from Gill and Pant set India up with a massive 515-run target in Chennai.
