Shubman Gill registered his maiden Test century while Cheteshwar Pujara smashed his fastest Test hundred ever as India declared at 258/2 on day three, setting a mammoth target of 513 for Bangladesh on Day 3 of the first match on Friday.

Gill overcame a tough start in the first session to hit a quick 110, hitting ten fours and three sixes in a knock where he eventually came at his fluent best.

Pujara was in sublime touch throughout his 102 not out and once Gill fell, he made runs rapidly to ensure India didn't lose out on a lot of time while he got his first Test century since January 2019.

After Gill shared a 70-run opening stand with captain KL Rahul, he went on to stitch a 113-run stand off 162 balls for the second wicket with Pujara as the duo piled misery on a tired Bangladesh bowling attack.
