4th Test: Gill Has Stood Up In Toughest Moments For India, Says Ponting
Despite Shubman Gill: Despite Shubman Gill falling for 103 on the stroke of lunch during day five’s play in the ongoing fourth Test against England, former Australia captain Ricky Ponting has lauded the Indian skipper for standing up for the side in the toughest moments of the series.
Gill had come out to bat on a hat-trick ball in the first over of India’s second innings on day four, but stood up with his patience and gritty nature hit 103 off 238 balls, laced with 12 boundaries. It was his ninth Test hundred and fourth of the ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series.
He has now tied with legendary batters Don Bradman and Sunil Gavaskar for most centuries as captain in a Test series, whilst also becoming the first player to hit four hundreds in their debut Test series as captain. The knock of 103 also marked the first time that Gill took more than 200 balls to score a Test century.
