Shubman Gill is the talk of the town after his scintillating century in the last T20 against New Zealand. He became one of the few Indian batters to score a century in all three formats of the game with that blazing century against New Zealand. Gill also scored a double century in the ODIs against New Zealand and is all set to face the Aussies in the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2023.
However, there are rumours going around on social media that Shubman Gill is going to miss the 1st Test against Australia in order to make way for KL Rahul at the top. KL Rahul has been appointed the vice-captain in the Test series against Australia, and he has mostly opened for the Indian team in Tests with Rohit Sharma.
The duo of Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul has played many match-winning knocks at the top. However, the form of Shubman Gill is too hard to dismiss right now due to the past accomplishments of KL Rahul. Many cricketing enthusiasts on social media are demanding that Shubman Gill should open the inning for India in the 1st Test against Australia.
A lot of Shubman Gill fans are concerned that their star is going to be dropped to accommodate the vice-captain KL Rahul in the playing XI. An official confirmation about Shubman Gill’s inclusion in the playing XI is likely to come on the match day and before that all the talk is just pure speculation.
