For the fans, the fourth Test match between India and Australia will always be remembered for Virat Kohli’s heroic century. The century was his first in the Test format in more than three years, as he hit 186 of 364 balls on day four, guiding Team India to a total of 571 and giving the home team a 91-run advantage.
Nevertheless, the 23-year-old Shubman Gill outdid him by scoring his second Test century on Day 3 and propelling India to a strong start. With this ton, Gill exceeded the expectations of the supporters and the selectors as he quickly entered the lineup in place of an underperforming KL Rahul.
Veteran Indian wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik believes Rahul can be taken into consideration if he is prepared to keep wickets as the Indian team is close to qualifying for the World Test Championship final.
Dinesh Karthik discusses Gill’s potential future with the Indian team.
“KL is not someone who enjoys keeping in Test cricket since it is an entirely different ball game, so I’ll see how Rahul feels. But I’ll keep that in the back of my mind for sure. If KL wants to keep wickets, that is a very, very useful option “On Cricbuzz, Karthik was cited as stating.
The 23-year-old is in it for the long haul, and Karthik said he hopes to see Gill in the starting XI for the WTC final. Karthik also praised Gill for his magnificent innings.
“There is no question that Shubman Gill will be my choice. On the penultimate Test before the WTC final, the man has a perfect score. You have the impression that Shubman Gill is here to stay. A lengthy racehorse, he. He is the one you should bet on because you want to see him still performing as India’s opener in 2033 “Karthik threw in.
