It was another failure for Shubman Gill in Tests. Inevitably, India could start with a different No.3 in England. On that note, here, we take a look at the list of three options India can try at No.3 in England instead of Shubman Gill.
1) Devdutt Padikkal
When Gill was unavailable for the first game, DDP played at No.3. Considering his domestic record, he should be the first option India should try.
However, a lot depends on how DDP plays in the Ranji Trophy. A stint in the County should also help the youngster.
2) B Sai Sudharsan is an option at No.3 in England instead of Shubman Gill
B Sai Sudharsan is one of the options India can try at No.3 in England instead of Shubman Gill. The Tamil Nadu man is definitely in line for a Test debut.
He has played in the County in the last two seasons. The selectors could notice this and give him a chance for the tour of England.
3) Dhruv Jurel
Dhruv Jurel could be an outside option for the No.3 spot. He did well in the India A games in Australia and deserved more games in the BGT.
He showed good technique and a great temperament. Therefore, he is an option that India could try at No.3 in England.
