They asked me where I wanted to bat, and I said I wanted number 3: Shubman Gill on batting position in Test series against West Indies.

In a significant development for the Indian cricket team, there is a change in the number three position, which was previously occupied by Cheteshwar Pujara,. This crucial batting spot is now set to be filled by the promising young talent, Shubman Gill. With Pujara being excluded from the Indian Test side for the West Indies series, Gill has been given the opportunity to showcase his skills and establish himself in this important role.

Shubman Gill, who has primarily played at number three for Punjab in domestic cricket, expressed his keenness to occupy the same position in the national team. Fortunately, the team management recognized his potential and granted him the chance to bat at number three. Gill is enthusiastic about his role in consolidating the team’s batting line-up from this pivotal position.

Shubman Gill in a interview said “They (team management) asked me where I wanted to bat, and I said I wanted No. 3. It is a position where I want to consolidate. “It is always good to play with the new ball. I have the experience with the new ball, and when you’re batting at No. 3, it is not very different although it is a little bit of a difference.”
