India vs Australia 4th Test: Shubman Gill achieves rare nervous 90s record

Shubman Gill scored 91 runs from just 146 balls before some sharp turn by Nathan Lyon curtailed his threatening stay at the crease. Gill’s knock was filled with eight elegant boundaries and two aggressive sixes against hostile Australian bowlers at their ‘Fortress’. The innings in contention also marks just his second fifty ever after he brought up his maiden 50-plus score with 50 at the SCG last week.

Shubman Gill’s departure after scoring 91 now makes him the youngest (21y 133d) visiting player ever to be dismissed in the nervous 90s in all Test matches played in Australia. Apart from the nervous 90s record, another landmark Gill achieved through his Gabba run-fest is that he also became the youngest Indian opener to score a half-century in the fourth innings of any Test.
