Ravi Shastri warns dismal Shubman Gill about 'waiting' Pujara
Young India batter Shubman Gill's recent form has proven to be a concern for the Indian team, especially in Tests. After managing just 23 runs in the first Test against England, Gill showed some intent before falling to James Anderson on 34. Gill has struggled to score runs ever since his recovery from dengue during the World Cup. His demotion to no. 3 in Tests, following Yashasvi Jaiswal's emergence as a reliable Test opener, also seems to be a work in progress.
For more than a decade, Cheteshwar Pujara cemented his place in the Indian Test team, piling centuries and playing long innings at no. 3.
However, the veteran batter was ignored by the management after a string of low scores.
Former India head coach Ravi Shastri has served a timely reminder to Gill and the other Indian youngsters, saying that "Pujara is waiting" for a comeback.
