Gill showed positive game in Test Championship final

He scored 28 runs in the first innings. He could only score eight runs in the second innings. However, Gill played very well in both the innings and lost his wicket due to poor shots.
India will have these options if Gill is out
Gill’s injury will not worry the Indian team management much as he has a good backup in England. Mayank Agarwal and KL Rahul are the two batsmen who can open the innings with Rohit. Mayank has consistently performed well in Test cricket but has been left out of the playing XI since Gill’s arrival. .Camp
