It was also his first Test century on Indian soil, which came in Ahmedabad; The franchise he represents in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Gill is now the second Indian batsman to score a century in this series. With this feat, he also became the fourth Indian to score centuries across all formats in a calendar year.

At the stroke of tea, Pujara, who was well settled for 41, was trapped in front by Todd Murphy. India scored 188 for two in their first innings at tea on the third day, trailing by 292 runs.
Barring Gill’s century, which was up for grabs, the second session was a bit uneven as only 59 runs were scored with the old ball which made strokeplay difficult.
The pitch still batted well and Gill hardly faced any difficulty in negotiating the Australian attack.
