India won the first Test against the West Indies by an innings and 141 runs but Gill’s first game as No. 3, replacing the dogged Cheteshwar Pujara, didn’t start well. He was out for only 6 in India’s only innings as skipper Rohit Sharma and debutant Yashasvi Jaiswal struck hundreds and Virat Kohli contributed 76.
“Three openers were supposed to play, so one had to go at No. 3 and the proposal came from Shubman’s end as his rationale was that he had played all his cricket for Punjab and India A at either No. 3 or 4 and that’s his real slot in longer format is that,” Batting Coach Vikram Rathour said during a press conference.
Meanwhile, Kishan did not had much of a say in the first match as he his first run before India decided to declare the innings. Kishan had a decent outing behind the wickets as well. The Southpaw is expected to retain his place in the second Test encounter and will want to prove a point with the bat.
