Shubman Gill will start as an opener ahead of Prithvi Shaw in first T20I against New Zealand: Hardik Pandya
India TodayIndia's stand-in captain Hardik Pandya said that Prithvi Shaw will have to wait for his opportunity as Shubman Gill has done very well and will start as an opener with Ishan Kishan in the first T20I against New Zealand in Ranchi. One of the three triple-digit scores was a double hundred, which he scored against New Zealand in Hyderabad on January 18 during the first ODI of the three-match series between India and New Zealand. "Prithvi Shaw will have to wait for his opportunity as Shubman Gill has done very well and was already part of the T20 team," Hardik Pandya said in the pre-series press conference in Ranchi. Prithvi Shaw's inclusion in Team India's squad for the upcoming three-match T20I series against New Zealand was one of the major talking points.
