England vs India: 3 Players who can replace Shubman Gill in Test series
Shubman Gill is all but likely to get ruled out of the entire England due to a leg injury.
2. KL Rahul
Agarwal’s Karnataka and Punjab Kings teammate KL Rahul is also in contention to face the new red cherry in England Tests. He has played 36 Test matches, and is well versed with the drill of the longest format. He even played several fantastic knocks in whites, earning praises from fans and experts worldwide.
However, inconsistent performance meant Rahul didn’t feature in a Test match since August 2019. Nevertheless, things have changed a lot since then and the dasher seems to have matured as a cricketer. The 29-year-old has been delivering consistently in Limited-Overs Internationals and subsequently, earned a place in the Test team again.
Notably, Rahul featured in India’s last Test series on England soil in 2018. The swinging red ball did trouble him a lot as the opener experienced regular failures. However, he unleashed his A-game in the last Test and scored a breathtaking 149 in the fourth innings. While that knock couldn’t take India to safety, it might earn Rahul a comeback in the Test team.
