Speaking at the press conference at the end of day's play, Gill recalled that during celebrations of their milestones, Pant was trying to touch his bat with Gill's bat, but the right-hander asked Pant to not do so since he was "trying to save the bat" he has been using since the series against England earlier this year.

Rishabh Pant's childhood coach Devender Sharma lavished praise on the wicketkeeper batter after his Test century against Bangladesh.

Rishabh Pant and Shubman Gill shone with centuries on day three of the first Test against Bangladesh in Chennai. The duo shared a light-hearted moment with Pant repeatedly hitting Gill's bat to celebrate.
