‘If I’m an Indian selector, I’m looking very closely at him’: Allan Border, Sunil Gavaskar pick between Shubman Gill, and Prithvi Shaw

Hindustan Times  

As the Indian team management look to firm up their opening combination for the Adelaide Test, Allan Border and Sunil Gavaskar, two greats after whom the trophy for the series is named, both picked Shubman Gill over Prithvi Shaw to partner Mayank Agarwal in the pink-ball Test starting in Adelaide on Thursday. Mayank Agarwal, Shubman Gill, and Prithvi Shaw “If I am an Indian selector, I am looking very closely at Gill,” former Australia skipper Border said during a virtual media interaction on Monday. “Gill should open the batting with Mayank.” Border was critical of incumbent opener Shaw’s expansive stroke-play. There was talk about Shaw’s batting methods during India’s last Test series in New Zealand too, but Indian captain Virat Kohli had suggested that his attacking play suited the team’s strategy for overseas conditions.
