The four match Test (Boarder Gavaskar) series is being played between India and Australia. There have been two games in this series. The India team has won these two matches with a brilliant performance and holds a 2-0 lead in the series. However, KL Rahul’s form remains a cause for concern for the team. Now, the former head coach of India, Ravi Shastri, has given a grand statement on the matter. Shastri said that the team management is aware of the form of KL Rahul. They know his mental state. He knows how he should look at a player like Gill.
Former Indian team head coach Ravi Shastri said that “if the vice-captain doesn’t play well, anyone can take his place.” At least there wouldn’t be a label on it. Especially in domestic conditions, I do not consider it absolutely necessary to appoint a vice-captain. When you go out to play, things can be different. You need a hitter like Shubman Gill here who is in good shape.
Indian Test team opener KL Rahul is struggling with very poor form at the moment. Rahul has scored just 50 runs in his last five Test innings. At the same time, in his poor form, young starter Shubman Gill is giving him a tough challenge. Gill has been in great shape so far. He scored a century in the first match of the Test series against Bangladesh. At the same time after this, he scored three centuries and a double century in T20 and ODIs. Looking at this excellent form from Gill, it is believed that he will have a chance in the starting XI in the third Test to be played in Indore.
