Chennai: Shubman Gill on Saturday went old-school in using his feet to nullify Bangladesh spinners on a pitch that had a hint of variable bounce, and the India batter said it was a part of his meticulous approach to unsettle the visiting tweakers.

While it was Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin in the first innings, Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant upped the ante in the second.

India vs Bangladesh 1st Test at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai is nearing its climax. After India gave Bangladesh a target of 515 to win in the fourth innings, the openers of the touring party did put on a half-century opening stand.
