Speaking at the press conference at the end of the day's play, Gill recalled that during celebrations of their milestones, Pant was trying to touch his bat with Gill's bat, but the right-hander asked Pant to not do so since he was "trying to save the bat" he has been using since the series against England earlier this year.

Shubman Gill scored an unbeaten century while Rishabh Pant marked his return with a solid performance, helping India set a target of 515 against Bangladesh on Day 3 of the first Test at Chepauk. Gill expressed joy over Pant’s comeback.

Following his century in the first Test against Bangladesh, Shubman Gill recounted a humorous incident with Rishabh Pant during their 167-run partnership. Centuries from Gill and Pant set India up with a massive 515-run target in Chennai.
