While the fans are thrilled with their Test debuts, they are disappointed that Shubman Gill, India’s most in-form batter, has been benched. The management had to make a difficult decision between rewarding Gill for his recent form and sticking with KL Rahul, who is also the team’s vice-captain.
The Indian think tank chose the latter option, despite the advice of some former cricketers who argued for Gill’s inclusion even if it meant losing the team’s vice-captain.
Here are three reasons why Shubam Gill’s exclusion from the Nagpur Test could come back to haunt Team India:
1. Failure to make the most of Shubman Gills form
2. KL Rahul’s Bad Form
3. Two Debutants in the Middle Order
