Noor gulped as she watched Shubman playing with an ODI mindset in a Test match, smashing the bowlers left and right on Day 1 after Team India won the toss and chose to bat. Shubman wasn't sure where his energy came from-whether it was his determination to play well and protect Noor, or if he was simply regaining his form-but whatever it was, he was enjoying it as his confidence returned. Noor chuckled as she watched him play so aggressively. She would have to thank the stalker-after handing them over to the authorities-for giving Shubman back his confidence.
During the lunch break, as everyone settled back in the pavilion, Noor took a moment for herself. She closed her eyes and rested, enjoying the brief respite as the chatter around her gradually quieted down.
It felt like only seconds to Noor when the crowd erupted in cheers as the teams returned to the field. She opened her eyes and glanced at the time, realizing the break had passed swiftly.
"Welcome back after the lunch break, folks! And what a display of power we've seen from Shubman Gill today! Playing like a man possessed, he's been all over the bowlers, taking them apart with an ODI-like approach in this Test match. It's been an absolutely thrilling innings so far!"
50.4 overs: Bowler charges in... back of a length... and Gill pulls it ferociously through mid-wicket! That's FOUR! He's on fire today, every shot filled with intent!
"Gill has been relentless, and after lunch, he's only upped the aggression. Just 79 balls faced, and he's on the brink of a century now. The fielding side looks rattled, unsure of how to stop this onslaught."
51.1 overs:Full delivery... AND HE GOES BIG! High and mighty over long-off! That's SIX! A monstrous hit and... YES! He's done it! Century for Shubman Gill! What a knock!
"The crowd is on its feet! Gill has brought up his hundred in style, sending that ball soaring into the stands. Just 80 balls to get there, playing with an aggression rarely seen in a Test match. Months of struggle seem to be behind him as he celebrates this century, a defining moment in his comeback!"
"The Prince of Cricket is well and truly back! His ODI-style knock in this Test match has stunned the opposition and brought life back into the game. We've got 53 overs left today, and with Shubman in this form, who knows what's next!"
Noor stood clapping as she watched Shubman bow down to celebrate his century, raising his bat towards the stands. He blew her a kiss with his bat, and she responded with a happy blow back, clapping enthusiastically.
Looking down, Noor saw Sammy clapping with delight, hugging her legs. Sammy was thrilled not only because his uncle had scored a century but also because it meant ice creams and sweets were on the way. Whenever Shubman scored a century, he would spoil everyone with treats, and today was no exception.
They sat down as the match resumed. Some wickets fell, but Shubman remained undeterred, continuing his pursuit of the second milestone. As the day drew to a close, the scoreboard read 270 for 3. Shubman's score stood at 170, just 30 runs away from achieving his first double century in Test cricket. The day had been remarkable, and anticipation grew for the following day's play.
