India’s young sensation Shubman Gill looked impressive with the bat in the first innings on Day 2 of the third Test against Australia at Sydney Cricket Groun꧂d (SCG).

Gill brought up his maiden Test fifty with a single off Nathan Lyon 🧜in the 32nd o🥂ver and looked in complete control of his game.

From pull shot to cover drives, the right-handed batsman played quite a few handsome-looking shots and impressed eඣveryone with his balanced and confident appr🍨oach.

Gill was eventually dismissed for 50 off 101 deliveries by Aussie pacer Pat Cummins.

Apart from the Punjab batsman, Rohit Sharma played a handy knock of 26 runs and formed a crucial 70-run opening partnership with Gill before Josh Hazlewood removed him in the 27th over. At stumps, India reached 96/2 in 45 overs with Cheteshwar Pujara (9 no) and Ajinkya Rahane (5 no) at the crease.

Earlier, Steve Smith bounced back after consistent failures in the first two Tests against India. The former Aussie skipper exhibited top-class batting and smashed his 27th hundred in the longest format.

Smith scored 131 off 226 balls before Ravindra Jadeja ran him out in the 106th over of Australia’s first innings – 338.

Not only the run-out, but Jadeja also contributed with the ball and picked up four scalps for 62 in 18 overs. He dismissed Marnus Labuschagne (91), Matthew Wade (13), Pat Cummins (0) and Lyon (0).

For someone playing only his 2nd test match @RealShubmanGill looks very assured at the wicket. Good solid defence, positive stroke play and clarity of🌺 thought. Definitely has a very bright future for India in all the 3 formats.

Time to💞 make a big call: @RealShubmanGill is a 6000 test run plus batsman for India. Don’t think one has seen an Indian batsman play pace witꦍh so much time in a long time!

What sets Steve Smith apart from other batsmen is that if he focuses 120 % on the first ball he faces, its 150% on the 200th ball he faces. A trueꦐ great!

Seemingly impossible that only Jadeja the fielder could have made possible. Not just the accuracy of the throw but the sheer speed of the throw was the key to that run out. Absolutely brilliant!
👏👏👏

Sydney, it had to be for his 💯

In Smith’s last fou🎀r Test innings he scored: 1, 1*, 🦆, 8. A poor run of form. Getting his ton at his home ground today must feel oh so sweet. Not a fast 100 either, he worked hard for it. 🇦🇺🇮🇳
— Chloe-Amanda Bailey (@ChloeAmandaB)

Smith also equals the record for most Test 100s (8) v India. Here's the breakdown:
STEVE SMITH 8 in 25 inns
Sobers 8/30
Viv Richards 8/41
Ponting 8/51

A ⭐️ has arrived. Good start Gilly! You looked good the whole time. Don’t be🌞 too hard on yourself about the dismissal.
— DK (@DineshKarthik)

Steve Smith's first century on home soil since Boxing Day Test, 2017. Also ends run of 14 innings without Test ton. His longest is 22 before his maiden 100 in 2013.
