Day 3 of the ongoing first Test between India and Bangladesh proved to be a fruitful one for the hosts. Having scored 81 runs with the loss of three wickets by the end of day 2, India kicked off day 3 in the perfect way. Star batters Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant played magnificent innings to help the hosts post a big total on the board. 

Batting throughout the majority of day 3, the 25-year-old remained unbeaten on 119* runs in 176 deliveries, whereas Rishabh Pant added 109 runs on the scoreboard. However, in a viral moment, Gill’s father, Lakhwinder Singh, was captured celebrating his son’s century. In a clip that has been going viral all over social media, Gill’s father was captured giving a standing ovation to his son after he completed his ton at the MA Chidambaram Stadium.

After getting out for a duck in the first innings, Shubman Gill made up for his blunder in the second and put in a good showing. Courtesy of the brilliant performances of Gill and Pant, team India declared on the score of 287. As a result, Bangladesh were given a stiff target of 515 runs by the Indian team.
