Notably, his innings could have been cut short in the 18th over of the Indian innings when Nathan Lyon's ball hit his pad, and the Australians appealed for an LBW. Despite the umpire initially giving a not-out verdict, Lyon and captain Steve Smith decided to challenge the decision with the third umpire. However, the 3-metre rule came into play, and Gill was declared not out since the distance between him and the stumps was three meters or more at the point of impact.
The 3-metre rule dictates that a batsman is given not out if the distance between them and the stumps is three meters or more at the point of impact. The Aussie skipper was evidently stunned by the decision, as heard on the stump mic.
Returning to the match, Gill emerged as India's standout performer on Day 3, amassing 128 runs to register his second-ever Test century and first at home. His performance helped India achieve a score of 289/3 at stumps. Additionally, Virat Kohli scored his first Test 50 in 14 months, contributing to India's total. At the end of the day, India trailed by 191 runs.
