3rd Test: Gill, Pant Hammer Fifties As India Reach 195/5, 40 Runs Adrift Of NZ At Lunch
Shubman Gill: Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant struck blazing half-centuries to take India to 195/5 at lunch on the second day of the Third and final Test of the 2024 series, 40 runs adrift of New Zealand's first innings total of 235 here on Saturday.
On another warm and humid day at the Wankhede Stadium, Pant and Gill were hotter with the bat than the conditions as they dominated the first morning, batting with controlled aggression, taking on the New Zealand spinners, capitalising on the two catches dropped by the fielders.
At lunch, Gill was batting on 70 with Ravindra Jadeja keeping him company at 10 off 18 balls as Pant, who had set the tone for the day, departed for a run-a-ball 60 as India recovered from the 10-minute madness towards the first day evening which saw them losing three wickets in seven balls to slump to 86/4.
