Rohit Sharma and Mayank Agarwal are the two starters Sunil Gavaskar would like India to enter in Test 3 against Australia. Shubman Gill, who impressed 45 and 35 * on debut, should be pushed to the middle, Gavaskar also said.
“I would stay with Mayank Agarwal. I know he doesn’t look good, but he’s a quality player. I would keep it aside and open up the hitting with Rohit, ”Gavaskar told Sanjay Manjrekar on Sony Sports Network.
“Despite the fact that Shubman Gill looks so good at the top, I would look to hit him at No. 5. With his approach (he may not) be too successful in the starting position, also at the U19 level, he was lowering the order So I think for Shubman Gill the number 5 would be the ideal position, ”he added.
Gavaskar suggested that Gill be played in the position of Hanuma Vihari in the third test and that Rohit Sharma enter the XI in place of Vihari.
The third test will take place from January 7. The series is currently locked 1-1 after India won the second Test in Melbourne.
