It was now the turn of the batsmen to back up the good work done by the bowlers. Both Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma looked confident in their footwork and dominated the Australian bowlers.What a shot. What a shot!

The visitors added 70 runs for the first wicket and successfully negotiated the opening burst by the Aussie quicks.Although Rohit Sharma lost his wicket, Shubman Gill continued playing positively and soon brought about his half-century. He scored eight boundaries and played some delightful strokes. Although he couldn't go on and get a big score, he ensured that the Indian middle-order was not exposed to the new ball.A deserved 50 for Gill 👏 #AUSvIND pic.twitter.com/iexCpfiGI0— cricket.com.au (@cricketcomau) January 8, 2021The impact of this innings could be huge in the context of the third Test as well as the remainder of the series.
