Gill, Pant Shine; Shakib's Unique Technique

Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant both scored centuries on Day 3 of the first Test against Bangladesh, building a 167-run partnership that put India in a commanding position. Pant, making a comeback after a car accident, also showcased his strategic presence behind the stumps on Day 2. Meanwhile, Bangladesh's Shakib Al Hasan was seen using a unique technique by biting a thread attached to his helmet to maintain his head position while batting, a practice explained as a self-check mechanism to improve his stance. India's bowlers, led by Jasprit Bumrah, restricted Bangladesh to 149 in their first innings, giving India a dominant lead.
