WATCH | Don’t judge Gill’s batting position based on one innings, says batting coach Rathour

The Hindu  

Shubman Gill has the requisite attributes to bat at the crucial number three slot in the Indian Test line-up batting coach Vikram Rathour said on Sunday. India won the first Test against the West Indies by an innings and 141 runs but Gill’s first game at number three, replacing the dogged Cheteshwar Pujara, didn’t start well. He was out for six in India’s only innings as skipper Rohit Sharma and debutant Yashasvi Jaiswal struck hundreds and Virat Kohli contributed 76. “Three openers were supposed to play, so one had to go at number three and the proposal came from Shubman’s end as his rationale was that he had played all his cricket for Punjab and India A at either three or four,” Rathour said during a press conference.
