Rohit’s absence from the team has paved the way for Shubman Gill to return to the team. Gill previously played 2 Tests on this tour in which he recorded scores of 31, 28 and 1 in 3 innings. However, Gill’s caliber is more than that. He was one of India’s best runners on the team’s last tour of Australia.
Shubman Gill was dropped from the squad for the Fourth Test against Australia to make way for another bowling option in the form of Washington Sundar. However, Gill returns in a must-win match for the Indian team. Currently, India is losing 1-2 in the series.
