From Shubman Gill to Washington Sundar: How did India debutants conquer Australia

India TV News  

Dreams do come true if you survive the hard times -- Even in his wildest dreams, 'net bowler' Natarajan would not have imagined that he'll be bowling the cherry in Brisbane, just days after making his T20I debut for India. The left-arm pacer, amid India's injury crisis in Australia, became the first player to make his debut in all three formats of the game on the same tour. In regular skipper Virat Kohli's absence, the team management wasn't shy in scrambling the top order, with Prithvi Shaw, Mayank Agarwal, Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill fighting for the top two spots. While Navdeep Saini made his Test debut in Sydney after Umesh's departure, India handed Test caps to Natarajan and Washington Sundar in the final Test. Former India pacer Ajit Agarkar even said that Gill should've been handed a Test debut two years ago.
