Rishabh Pant marks his return to Test cricket with a century as India close in on a comprehensive victory over Bangladesh in the first Test in Chennai.

Shubman Gill said that he found pleasure in seeing Rishabh Pant scoring his 6th Test hundred after comeback to Test cricket. Gill was also content with his performance in 1st Test vs Bangladesh.

Perhaps, the moment stood also as a tribute to Pant equalling Chennai's very own 'Thala' MS Dhoni's record for the most Test hundreds by an Indian wicketkeeper-batsman – six.
