Shubman Gill number four Headingley Test : Shubhman Gill will bat at number four in the Headingly Test, five Rishabh Pant. Now the question is, how many numbers will you play in Karun Nayar? Wicketkeeper-Batter Rishabh Pant confirmed that India’s newly appointed Test captain Shubhman Gill will bat at number four in the first match of the five-match Test series against England. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli retire from Test cricket have created two major vacancies in India’s batting line-up. Gill is about to take possession of those places.
The first test in Headingley will begin from June 25, but at the press conference earlier, Rishabh Pant said, “I think the number three position is still under discussion. However, four and five are fixed. Shubhman will bat at number four, and I will be at number five, that is the plan right now. We continue to discuss the rest. ‘
Shubhman Gill, who led India’s Twenty20 team on Zimbabwe last year, has long been considered as the future captain of India. This time he is about to take full responsibility for the white dress. His promotion was expected at number four. And it can be important in bringing stability to this batting change in India.
The number four position in which Kohli was once in a constant position, will be seen this time a quiet, stylish and capable batter. Pant, who is now vice-captain, is batting at number five throughout the 2021/21 Test season. Many thought that Karun Nayar would be India’s new number five batter, and Pant would go down. However, Pant made it clear that he was unlikely.
So where do you play Karun Nayar?
The question that has not yet been answered is who will play in the number three batting position? Karun Nayar, who has come to the national team with a series of runs in domestic cricket and scored a great double century in a preparatory match against England Lions, is one of the main contenders for number three.
His return has become one of the most discussed topics of recent times and can be seen batting upwards. However, India’s team can depend on the newly called left -handed batter Sai Sudarshan, who has continued well in all formats.
If Sai is a handsome XI, then India may have to think of the middle order configuration. Since Karun Nayar is commonly known as a top order or middle order anchor, it would not be advisable to lower him at number six. As a result, the number three position has become very important. Especially in Headingley’s swing helpful conditions, the England bowlers have to decide in mind that the start of the start.
