3 cricketers who can replace Shubman Gill in the Test series against England

Shubman Gill managed to amass only 36 runs for India in the World Test Championship final against New Zealand. After a poor outing, Gill is expected to be dropped from India’s starting XI for the England Test series. Here is a list of 3 cricketers who can replace him:

⦁ Mayank Agarwal

Mayank Agarwal is the most likely candidate to replace Shubman Gill in the Test series against England. Agarwal has been brilliant for India in the longest format of the game. In 14 matches in the Test format, Mayank Agarwal has amassed 1052 runs for the Indian Test team. Moreover, Mayank Agarwal was also the 4th highest run-scorer for India in the league phase of the ICC World Test Championship. Clearly, Mayank Agarwal deserves a chance to start for India in the Test series against England.

⦁ KL Rahul

Another cricketer who could replace Shubman Gill in the Test series against England is KL Rahul. In 36 matches in the Test format, KL Rahul has amassed a total of 3006 runs for India. KL Rahul is also more reliable than Shubman Gill in the longest format of the game. Hence, there is a strong chance that KL Rahul could start for India in the Test series against England.

⦁ Abhimanyu Easwaran

At no 3 in this list is Indian cricketer Abhimanyu Easwaran. The 25-year-old has been in fine form with the bat in the domestic circuit. In 64 First-Class matches in his career, Easwaran has amassed an impressive 4401 runs in total. Easwaran has amassed an impressive 13 hundred in the First Class format.
