Young opener Shubman Gill showed maturity to score an unbeaten century. Gill, who has been in fine form across all formats, justified being preferred over KL Rahul in the playing XI, scoring 128 runs which included 12 fours and a six. This being his second century in Test cricket, he shared 74 runs for the first wicket with captain Rohit Sharma (35 runs from 58 balls) and 113 runs for the second wicket with Cheteshwar Pujara (42 runs from 121 balls).
the pitch was difficult
Barring Gill’s century, India scored only 59 runs in the second session as the ball was getting old and it was difficult to play strokes on it. The pitch, however, is still batting friendly and Gill has had no trouble playing the Australian bowlers. Gill slowed down in the middle but soon he was playing in his natural style. He first hit Nathan Lyon over his head for a four and then completed his century with a paddle scoop.
Rohit Sharma dealt cheaply
India lost the wicket of Rohit in the first session, who squandered a golden opportunity to post a big score on a batting pitch. He was dismissed by left-arm spinner Matthew Kuhnemann. Rohit was batting in good flow and he pulled Mitchell Starc for a six as well. The ball he got out from Kuhnemann was not a wicket-taking ball. It was a short pitch ball that Rohit could have played in any part of the ground but he played it on the backfoot and caught Marnus Labuschagne at short extra cover. Pujara also looked in position to play a big innings but just before the tea break, Todd Murphy got him lbw to give Australia a second breakthrough. Pujara also resorted to DRS, but it also did not work for him.
