The Karnataka-based batter has now been dismissed on his third successive Test century, for which he has fallen exactly on 100. First, back in England at Lord’s in 2025, 100 (177), then following that against the West Indies 100 (197) and today against Afghanistan 100 (165). After his wicket, Shubman Gill was disappointed as well, alongside him, and put his hand on his head in disappointment.

The team India opener has also been the most flexible batter and can bat anywhere the team wants him to bat, as he plays in the middle order in the ODI format and opens in the longest format of the game. He has always stood up tall for the Men in Blue.
Coming to the match, India captain Shubman Gill won the toss and elected to bat first. They lost Yashasvi Jaiswal early as the Southpaw was strangled down the leg side.
