Shubhman Gill
India vs Afghanistan Shubman Gill : When BCCI announced the team for the T20 series against Afghanistan, it selected a total of three opening batsmen. While Rohit Sharma is returning as captain after about 15 months, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill are also in the team as other openers. In such a situation, it is possible that Shubman Gill may be given a new responsibility, which he has never taken up before in T20 International.
Yashasvi Jaiswal will open with Rohit Sharma today
Even before the first match of India vs Afghanistan T20 series, Team India’s head coach Rahul Dravid has come in front of the media and made it clear that Yashasvi Jaiswal will open with Rohit Sharma in the first match. But the matter gets stuck regarding Shubman Gill. Will Gill then be out of the playing eleven? So far it doesn’t seem so. Virat Kohli has made his job easy. Virat Kohli will miss the first match to be played in Mohali due to family reasons. In such a situation, the number three spot remains vacant. In such a situation, it is believed that Shubman Gill can be brought to bat at number three.
Shubman Gill will play T20 International match for the first time in Mohali.
Shubman Gill can play T20 International match for the first time on his home ground. He hails from Punjab, but till now he has not played a single T20 International match on his home ground. He may be given new responsibilities at his home ground. Shubman Gill started his career as an opening batsman in Tests also. But later when Cheteshwar Pujara was out, Yashasvi Jaiswal opened with Rohit Sharma. In fact, Shubman Gill himself had expressed his desire to play at number three, which was also fulfilled. Now he can be seen playing at this number in T20 also.
Shubman Gill’s figures in T20 International are like this
Talking about Shubman Gill’s T20 International career, he has scored 312 runs in 13 matches so far. His average is 26. He has scored a century in this format once, when he played a brilliant inning of 126 not out against New Zealand. Now it will be interesting to see how Shubman performs if he is dropped at number three here too. If everyone’s eyes are going to be on anyone after Rohit Sharma today, it would probably be Shubman Gill.
