India declared their second innings at 287/4, setting Bangladesh a target of 515 runs in the opening Test at MA Chidambaram Stadium. Centuries from Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant bolstered India's position.

Subhman Gill signalled India’s intent early, smashing two sixes off Mehidy Hasan Miraz to reach his half-century. Rishabh Pant, playing his first Test since a serious car accident in late 2022, took a more patient approach,

Stylish batter Shubman Gill carved out an industrious century (119 not out in 176 deliveries) on day 3 of the first Test between India and Bangladesh being played in Chennai. Gill's knock came in India's second innings and his century coupled with Rishabh Pant's entertaining hundred (109 off 128 balls) helped hosts to a score of 287/4 in 64 overs with a lead of 514 runs.
