Captain Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will be absent from the Kanpur test between India and New Zealand from 25 November. In such a situation, you can see some changes in the batting order of the team. It is believed that the Shubman Gill opener can be placed in the intermediate order. At the same time, Mayank Agarwal can be seen once again opening with his partner KL Rahul.
In this match played under the captaincy of Ajinkya Rahane, Shubman Gill may be asked to replace Virat Kohli. This will also be the right opportunity for the team management to find a replacement for Virat in the middle order. By the way, Shreyas Iyer is also an option to replace Virat in the test team. In ODI and T20, he likes to play only in the fourth order.
Shubman Gill made his Boxing Day Test debut on the Australia tour. His bat played a lot on the Australian tour, but he couldn’t do anything special as a starter on this year’s tour of England. He scored just 119 runs in 4 games with an average of 19 runs. In such a situation, the team management would like to test it in the intermediate order rather than open.
KL Rahul’s name is almost certain for the opening. They are in good rhythm at the moment. His bat has played a lot in the T20 World Cup and the home series against New Zealand. Here the question will be from your partner. If Shubman Gill is placed in the middle order, then Mayank Agarwal will open with Rahul on the team. Mayank has not played any Test Matches so far this year. He has 1,052 runs in 14 test matches with an average of 45.
