Shubman Gill scored his second test hundred to lead India to 289-3 in reply to Australia's first-innings total of 480 on Day 3 of the fourth and final test on Saturday. Making use of benign batting conditions, Gill hit 128 while Virat Kohli also ground out a crucial half-century, his first in 16 test innings. Kohli was on 59 not out at stumps, with Ravindra Jadeja (16) for company. With two days remaining, India — which leads the series 2-1 — trails by 191 runs at Narendra Modi Stadium. After the lunch break, Gill pushed India past 100-run mark with Cheteshwar Pujara (42) and the pair added another 58 runs for the second wicket, taking their partnership to 113. Australia put a tight leash on scoring post-lunch, with only 23 runs coming off 14 overs.

Pujara was trapped lbw to Todd Murphy (1-45) after his DRS review was struck down. He faced 121 balls and hit three fours. Kohli took a while to get going in his innings as India went to tea at 188-2, but Gill played more fluently, passing his previous highest test score of 110 scored against Bangladesh in December. Gill faced 235 balls, hitting 12 fours and a six. India scored 40 runs in the first hour of play after tea, but then lost Gill. He had cramps and it disturbed his concentration enough as Nathan Lyon (1-75) trapped him lbw. “It feels great to score a hundred here as I play a lot of cricket on this ground," he said. "The pitch was pretty good to bat on and things were only happening off the rough. “I was looking to pick singles and score. We will look to score big on Day 4, and maybe the wicket will help our bowlers on Day 5.” Kohli was joined by Jadeja and looked more confident and fluent after the tea break. They batted in lower gear, though, with only 31 runs coming off the final hour of play. Jadeja, surprisingly, faced 42 deliveries before hitting a boundary — a six off Matthew Kuhnemann (1-43). Kohli reached his fifty off 107 balls to end his run without a half-century stretching back to January 2022. It was his 29th fifty and Kohli passed 4,000 test runs on home soil. Australia took the second new ball with six overs to go, but the Indian pair resisted. Earlier, Gill and Rohit Sharma had scored 74 runs for the first wicket, added 38 runs from the overnight score of 36-0 before Sharma chipped a catch to cover off Kuhnemann. Australia's players wore black armbands as a mark of respect for captain Pat Cummins’ mother, Maria, who died in Sydney on Friday. Cummins flew home immediately after the second test in Delhi to be with his family, with Steve Smith now leading the team. India won the first two tests, in Nagpur and Delhi, before Australia triumphed in Indore.
