A series of 2 test matches will be played between India and the West Indies. Following this Test series, there will be a series of ODI and T20 matches between the two teams. The first Test between India and the West Indies will be played in Dominica from 12 July. However, the Indian team is looking for a replacement for Virat Kohli in the test matches.
Virat Kohli bats at No. 3 in Test matches for India, but who will be the No. 3 batsman after the former Indian captain? Actually, it is believed that the India team can test Shubman Gill as a replacement for Virat Kohli at number 3 in test matches. At the same time, he can start with the series against the West Indies.
Shubman Gill may have a chance to play at number 3 in the Test series against the West Indies. Actually, Virat Kohli is believed to be playing test cricket for the next 2-3 years. After this, the India team will have to find some other option for number 3. However, the Indian team management has already started working on it.
But the bigger question is if Shubman Gill bats at number 3 for India in Test matches, who will be the opener? Currently, the names of Rituraj Gaikwad and Yashasvi Jaiswal are leading this race. At the same time, it is believed that Rituraj Gaikwad and Yashasvi Jaiswal may have a chance to debut in the Test series against West Indies.
