Both the 23-year-old’s two sixes – a ramp shot over slips off Pakistan pacer Faheem Ashraf, and a superb pickup shot off pacer Bradley Currie over mid-wicket -were classy shots.
It was Gill’s 8th century in his 38th First-Class game. Glamorgan shared a video on twitter of Gill reaching his century, captioning it: “Century!!!
Shubman Gill makes a maiden Glamorgan century. 123 balls, 12 fours, 2 sixes. Well batted, Shubman.” While Gill, who is set to be picked for India’s upcoming home three-match ODI series against South Africa, top-scored with 119, wicketkeeper Chris Cooke was batting on 80, skipper David Lloyd hit a 64-ball 56, as Glamorgan reached 221 for 3 on Day 1 and were 410 for 7 on Day 2 at the time of writing this.
Earlier this month, Gill scored 92 off 148 balls on his English county debut against Worcestershire at Cardiff, before getting 22 & 11 against Middlesex at Lord’s.
