Gill has been included in India’s squad for the Chennai game, which sees the return of Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul and Virat Kohli into the Test scheme of things, while left-arm pacer Yash Dayal has been given a maiden call-up. “I don’t think you can underestimate any international side. The kind of cricket Bangladesh have played in the last couple of months, especially in Pakistan, has been impressive. Their fast bowlers and the way their middle-order batters have absorbed pressure shouldn’t be disregarded. So, I believe it will be an interesting and intriguing contest,” Gill told Jio Cinema.

In 25 Tests so far, Gill has made 1492 runs at an average of 35.52, with the last year seeing him transition into a No. 3 batter. Asked about the challenges he’s had in batting at No. 3 in Tests, Gill remarked, “Quite often, when you’re playing in a different position, everyone knows your potential, but you still have to prove yourself.”
