India vs Australia 2nd Test Match: Shubman Gill Set to Warm the Bench Again

Shubman Gill has been brilliant for India in the limited-overs format in recent months. He has scored an exceptional double-century in the ODIs and played a wonderful knock against the Kiwis in T20s to register the highest individual score for an Indian in international T20s. However, despite all that, he was benched in the 1st Test between India and Australia at Nagpur Stadium. Now, the latest reports are suggesting that India is again going to bench Shubman Gill in the 2nd Test match against Australia.

Why is Shubman Gill going to warm the bench in 2nd Test between India and Australia?

Shubman Gill is going to warm the bench in 2nd Test between India and Australia due to the Indian cricket team management plans to stick to the same team which brought victory in the 1st Test against Australia. Even though Suryakumar Yadav failed miserably in the 1st Test match, the Indian coach and captain are likely to show their trust in him by giving him a longer rope against the Australian team in Test cricket.

Also, Suryakumar Yadav is a highly attacking batter who naturally goes on the counter-attack, which is an ability that the Indian cricket team surely needs in the middle order as Rishabh Pant is still recovering from the effects of the devastating accident. Also, the Indian cricket team is unlikely to remove KL Rahul from the opening slot despite his failure in the past few matches in international cricket.
