While the first innings of the firey Test between India and Bangladesh saw the hosts getting an upper hand over the Indian top order, the second innings saw an entirely different scenario as India produced two centurions in Shubman Gill and Cheteshwar Pujara to help them secure a comfortable lead.

Shubman Gill has found himself being lauded heavily in recent times. After scoring his maiden Test ton, former Indian opener, Wasim Jaffer was all praise for the current Indian batter.

Talking on ESPNCricinfo, Jaffer said, "It is good that it came. He missed out on a couple of opportunities before, but I am happy this monkey is off his back. He is a class player; I will probably say that after Virat Kohli, he is the next big batter to come out of the Indian camp. He is a three-format player, and I hope to see many more good things from Shubman Gill."

He further shed some light on India's possible stance for the second Test, stating, "It is an old saying when the batters don't perform, the bowlers get dropped. So I am guessing there will be one bowler less and one batter added. We will see that one spinner might be less in the second Test."

Jaffer concluded by talking about the versatility of Gill, adding, "He has played in the middle order for his state team, and he will get used to it. Openers getting slotted in the middle order is not a big deal because you are used to playing spin. It is the other way around, which can trouble because when a middle-order player is used as an opener, he is not used to playing the hard new ball on a fresh pitch. If Gill is slotted to bat in No.5 or any other position, I think he will be well-suited to play there. As an opener, when you play bigger innings, you play the old ball and the spinners on a wearing pitch. So I am pretty sure he will get used to it easily."
