Kohli praise Gill

Meanwhile, BCCI posted a video where Virat Kohli heaped praise on Gill.

"I think he was totally in his element today and showed why so many people have been saying such great things about him for years. I wish him all the best. Hope he builds on this. Today it was just a privilege to watch him bat."

Gill proved his worth

Gill was playing at the top order in place of Ishan Kishan who also scored a double ton recently. After team management decided to play Gill in place of Kishan, the 23-year-old faced a lot of backlash along with the Rohit Sharma-Rahul Dravid-led management.
