Shubman Gill is hitting the right strides and hogging the headlines after he scored his maiden Test century against Bangladesh in the first Test. With runs under his belt, Gill is sending a message that he is here to stay for the long haul. It will be tough to drop Gill in the second Test even if Rohit Sharma comes back. He had also made up for his first innings failure.

Gill slammed 110 off 152 balls, with 10 fours and three sixes. His majestic innings allowed India to speed up the declaration in the second innings, the right-hander put on a 70-run stand with KL Rahul and then put on yet another vital 113-run partnership with Cheteshwar Pujara. Gill has received a lot of admiration for his knock. One of them who hailed his knock was Ajay Jadeja.

I hope Shubman Gill moves upwards from here - Ajay Jadeja

"A century in Test cricket is a very big moment. I don't even know how it feels. It is just a number but a very important one. I can only talk about myself and not about others. It is like passing an exam, this number has an effect like that. You can talk about the pressure or the wait for that, Shubman Gill needs to savour that moment. If you see Cheteshwar Pujara, who had scored 18 centuries when he scored one after three years, it is a different celebration," Jadeja told Sony Sports.

"I hope his wagon will only move ahead from here because this guy has shown that he is not one of those who have gone back after scoring one. Prithvi Shaw is also his age group, he scored a century in his first Test but he is not even around at the moment. So just like that wagon has gone back, this wagon is steadily moving ahead," added Jadeja.

"Shubman Gill has the ability and the best thing I find about him is that we have only seen him moving forward since we have seen him. A player comes in whom you see a lot of talent but if you see two or four years later, he is still stuck there. He has added something whenever we have seen him."
