IND vs AUS: Karthik praises Shubman Gill, feels the young opening batter is an all-format player
Shubman Gill who has been in hot form for India across all three formats was praised by Karthik. “I have seen him in close quarters, and there is something special about him. The first thing I observe is temperament. That was there in abundance. At KKR when I was captain, we sent him at No.6 and 7. Those are hard spots to play. Even now you can see a Deepak Hooda coming, and (struggling), it’s not easy. He went in and did that job with aplomb. He would take the team through,” said Karthik on Cricbuzz.
As of now, it is still not clear whether Gill will walk out to open the batting with Rohit Sharma in Tests. With KL Rahul being the Test vice-captain, it seems India will stick with Rahul Rohit combination for Tests.
