While runs had not been coming easy for Gill last year, the opening batter is currently scoring centuries for fun, the latest of which was a flamboyant 128 against Australia in Ahmedabad.
India missed the currently-injured Shreyas Iyer against Australia, and Suryakumar was given with the responsibility to fill in Iyer’s spot.
With another century, Shubman Gill continues to take giant strides forward in the international arena.
