Shubman should have scored a ton: Father

Playing only his third Test, Shubman Gill hit a fine 91 to keep India in the hunt in pursuit of a 328-run target against Australia on Day 5 at The Gabba in Brisbane. (Getty Images)

The Aussies tried their best to intimidate Gill with bouncers, but the 21-year-old Indian batsman matched fire with fire with an array of attacking shots all round the wicket. (Getty Images)

Gill hit two sixes in his knock, both off Starc. The first came just before lunch over the third man fence and the second was after lunch over the square leg boundary. (Getty Images)

Gill hit a six and two fours in Starc's 12th over to rattle the Aussies, much to the joy of ecstatic Indian fans. (AP Photo)

Overall, Gill hit 8 fours and 2 sixes in his 91-run knock that came off 146 balls. (Getty Images)

Gill, who made his Test debut in the second Test of the series in Melbourne, has looked assured in all his innings in the middle. (AP Photo)

Gill made 45 and 35* in the Indian victory at the MCG, reached his maiden Test fifty in the first innings of the drawn game in Sydney and hit a fine 31 in the second essay. (Getty Images)

Though Gill scored 7 runs in the first innings at The Gabba, his second innings' 91-run knock and his 114-run stand with Cheteshwar Pujara for the second wicket proved that he is the real deal and he has made a big case for himself to be considered as a first choice opener for India. (AP Photo)
