How the Innings Went

On a flat pitch, India needed a long first-innings reply to stay safe in the series. Gill faced 235 balls, setting up the total that Virat Kohli's 186 built on. Once India passed 480, Australia had little chance of forcing a win.

Why It Mattered

  • It was Gill's second Test hundred and his first in India, three months after his maiden Test century in Chattogram.
  • The draw sealed the series, and India then qualified for the 2023 World Test Championship final when New Zealand beat Sri Lanka in Christchurch.

His full Test record is on the stats page.
