Shubman Gill scored an unbeaten 119 against Bangladesh, helping India declare at 287 for four in their second innings. His strategy included stepping out to counter spinners on a variable pitch, a technique he has practiced since childhood.

Chennai: Shubman Gill on Saturday went old-school in using his feet to nullify Bangladesh spinners on a pitch that had a hint of variable bounce, and the India batter said it was a part of his meticulous approach to unsettle the visiting tweakers.

Shubman Gill admitted that the series against England, where he scored nearly 500 runs, boosted his self-confidence in the longest format of the game.
