IND vs BAN, 1st Test: Youngster Shubman Gill has had a stellar run this year. He had always been in team India's scheme of things but owing to his inconsistency in the recent past, the Punjab-based batsman finds himself on the bench on most of the occasions, but he has plenty of reasons to remember this year. Gill scored his maiden Test and ODI centuries this year. He scored a gritty ton against Zimbabwe in the ODIs and the ongoing Test match between Bangladesh and India, Gill has ended up scoring his maiden Test ton.
Against Bangladesh, Gill scored 110 off 152 deliveries in Chattogram. This is his maiden Test century, but with this Gill has also breached a landmark that no other Indian Test opener could do in the year 2022. With his maiden century, Shubman Gill has become the first and as of now the only Indian opener to score a Test ton in the year 2022.
