India vs Bangladesh Live: Gill named Player of the Match!
“This is definitely one of the most satisfying innings I’ve played. Rohit bhai and I decided to avoid cutting the ball, so I engaged my feet against the fast bowlers. When Virat bhai joined, we discussed how difficult front foot shots were, so we adapted to playing more off the back foot. The first shot boosted my confidence and the second one brought me closer to my century. Both were satisfying,” said Shubman Gill after the match.
