Virat Kohli&#8217;s 2019 has been nothing short of extraordinary. The right-handed batsman has scored and outscored the opponents South Africa at times during the three-match Test series. While Kohli&#8217;s form has been a blessing in disguise, the management would want to rest their premier batsman keeping the fixtures in mind. The Indian skipper has played nearly every game that the Indian team has played in the 2019 calendar year, giving him very little time to rest.

Also, ahead of the 2020 T20 World Cup in Australia, Shastri and co would like to try out some of the players before the premier T20 competition. While India tried out Deepak Chahar, Rahul Chahar, and Krunal Pandya in the previous series against West Indies, the management would want to try out the likes of Suryakumar Yadav, Shubman Gill, and Sanju Samson. There are <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/reports-virat-kohli-set-to-be-rested-for-bangladesh-t20i-series/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>reports</strong></a> that Virat Kohli might be rested for the Bangladesh T20I series, so team management can make a few experiments.

The trio has shown capabilities of performing at the highest order for the national team in the 2018 edition of the Indian Premier League. While Suryakumar Yadav emerged as the top Indian run-scorer for the Mumbai Indians, Shubman Gill and Sanju Samson too performed to dig their teams out of misery. Samson would be a re-entrant in the Indian line-up having last played for India way back in 2015 while Gill would be a new face in the T20 setup after having played twice in the ODI format.

Let&#8217;s take a look at 3 players who can replace Virat Kohli for Bangladesh T20I series

One of the most notable and exorbitant names in the domestic T20 circuit in India, Suryakumar Yadav has grown to become a household name. The right-handed batsman has shown his range of skills from opening the innings when needed for the Mumbai Indians to batting at No.3 and as the floater for the team.

In the recently concluded IPL, the right-hander has amassed 424 runs in 16 innings at an average of nearly 27 runs an innings. Further, Yadav was one of the mainstays in the Mumbai unit in their 2018/19 Syed Mushtaq Ali tournament. Yadav is more than a handy batsman and equally a capable fielder.

Further, the right-hander can both play at No.3 and finish the innings, making him priceless in the Indian squad in the absence of Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya. His T20 career average of 29.43 is more than handy statistics for a replacement and certainly would help his case for the T20 World Cup spot.

(Photo Source: Instagram)</figcaption>

Sanju Samson returned to familiar teammates in the form of Rajasthan Royals and took just one season for the right-hander to turn up his performance. The right-handed batsman has emerged as one of the leading Indian run-scorers in the recently concluded IPL, with nearly 342 runs under his umbrella in just 12 innings.

The 24-year-old is again not a new name in the Indian T20 circuit, with consistent runs in every <a href="https://twitter.com/Cricketracker/status/1185540940674416642"><strong>IPL</strong></a>. Samson who has got the approval of Rahul Dravid in the past showed this IPL what he is capable of, with only his fitness coming to question in the recent past. With his fitness being an issue in the past, will Samson cement his place in the absence of Virat Kohli?

Further, Samson&#8217;s T20 record is a direct result of his consistency with nearly 3500 runs in 136 innings. His average of 27.48 is not the World&#8217;s best, but certainly, the right-hander packs a punch when he hits form. His debut for the Indian team way back in 2014 has become a forgotten past, but can the right-hander turn the tide with his performance?

(Photo by Nathan Stirk/Getty Images)</figcaption>

Shubman Gill falls way back in the list of the batsmen that could replace Virat Kohli when it comes to figures. However, his style of play and his form could certainly come to talks when his name is discussed by the selectors. Easily one of the most graceful batsmen to have played for India in the recent past, the right-hander has not had it easy for the Indian team.

In the two games that Gill has played for the country, he could only score 16 runs, which would be considered as a failure in the country. However, apart from just reading the batsman on those two games, the youngster has shone his way in the IPL for the Kolkata Knight Rider. Despite Gill playing at No. 5 and 6 for most parts of the season, he managed to score 296 runs in 14 games.

Gill&#8217;s T20 career record is slightly on the better side of the two batsmen mentioned above. In the 29 T20 games that he has played, Gill has scored 614 runs at an average of 32 runs per innings with a high score of 76 runs. His elegance on the field with the bat and his safety as a fielder could easily put him above the other contenders for the coveted position in the Indian batting line-up.
