3rd Test: It Definitely Is One Of My Better Knocks, Says Gill After Fighting 90 Vs NZ
Shubman Gill: India batter Shubman Gill listed his fighting knock of 90 on a treacherous pitch in the third Test against New Zealand as one of his most challenging knocks and said he was trying to have fun in the middle.
Coming in with the team at 25/1 and watching his teammates lose three wickets within 10 minutes from the other end on Friday, Gill played a composed and patient innings, capitalising on the one reprieve that he got early on Saturday morning, to compile a 146-ball 90. He and Rishabh Pant took on the New Zealand bowling with some aggressive batting in the morning as they raised 86 runs in quick time which helped India post 263 runs in their first innings and take a small lead.
Ravindra Jadeja (4-52) and R. Ashwin (3/63) struck in tandem to reduce New Zealand to 171/9 in their second innings, putting India in a great position to chase victory on Sunday as they are trailing by 143 runs.
