5 Players who can replace KL Rahul in Tests
He has seriously struggled and has looked tentative every time he’s walked out to bat.
3. Shubman Gill
If there is one name that has done a lot of rounds in the Indian domestic circuit, then it has to be that of Shubman Gill. The 19-year-old Punjab batsman has been in fine form in the recent past. Moreover, his non-selection in the national side has hogged the limelight quite a bit.
Gill may have made his debut for Punjab in List ‘A’ and first-class cricket only a couple of years ago but he has already shown that he may become a future superstar. The top-order batsman has been scoring a lot of runs in domestic cricket. He has been in and around the India ‘A’ squads as well and has also done well in those ‘A’ games. In fact, it was barely a month back when he struck a magnificent 204 coming in at 14/3 in the second innings against West Indies ‘A’.
Moreover, Gill who has played just 13 games averages 74.88 in first-class cricket. He had a phenomenal Ranji season last time and was Punjab’s best batsman by a distance, despite not featuring in the entire season. Hence, Gill seems ready to take it to the biggest level as well.
