Team India’s batsman Shubman Gill is set to take on the No. 3 position
in the upcoming two-match Test series against the West Indies.
This move indicates a refreshed approach as Team India enters the third cycle of the World Test Championship (WTC),
with bold decisions being made in terms of personnel selection.
Notably, senior player Cheteshwar Pujara did not find a place in the squad,
while newcomers like Ruturaj Gaikwad, Mukesh Kumar, and Yashasvi Jaiswal have been included.
Jaiswal, making his debut in the series opener, will open alongside captain Rohit Sharma, leading to a change in Gill’s batting position.
During the pre-match press conference, Rohit Sharma discussed the decision.
Gill expressed his preference to coach Rahul Dravid,
stating that he has played most of his cricket at No. 3 and No. 4 and believes he can contribute better to the team in that position.
