3 Cricketers who can replace Shikhar Dhawan as T20I opener
These three players are trustworthy options to replace Gabbar.
3. Shubman Gill
Touted as the next big thing in Indian cricket, Shubman has impressed everyone in all three formats. The 20-year-old won the Emerging Player award in IPL 2019, thanks to promotion in his batting order from number 7 to opener. As an opener, Shubman scored 236 runs in 6 games at a strike rate of 140.
His impressive performances haven’t been limited only to the IPL. He has delivered back-to-back match-winning knocks in the domestic cricket and India ‘A’ games. He has also received heaps of praises from captain Virat Kohli.
Therefore, one might see him getting a chance in T20Is soon. With an eye on the World Cup, the team management would be looking to test youngsters, and Shubman would be a safe bid to rely upon.
