After the Test series defeat against New Zealand, the pressure on Team India's head coach Gautam Gambhir has increased a lot. Now in such a situation, the regular captain at the beginning of the series Rohit Sharma
In his absence the pressure has doubled. In such a situation, now the head coach is preparing to play a big bet by trusting any one of these 3 players.
In the absence of Rohit Sharma, only experienced Jasprit Bumrah is going to take the responsibility of captaincy. About which everything seems clear at the moment. However, head coach Gautam Gambhir is currently busy searching for which player will fill his void as an opening batsman. Currently 3 names are visible in this race.
Only after Cheteshwar Pujara was out of the team, Shubman Gill decided to leave the opening batting and play at number 3 position. Since then he is seen playing at number 3 only. Now due to the absence of Rohit Sharma, Team India's batting looks weak.
This is Yashasvi Jaiswal's first tour, due to which Gautam Gambhir can now make Shubman Gill an opener again and field him in the Perth Test match. Gill's record as an opening batsman in Australia has also been good.
Abhimanyu Easwaran, who is playing in Australia as an opening batsman in the India A team, is also a part of this team. Due to which, in the absence of Rohit Sharma, he has automatically joined the race of opening batsman.
If the last 2 matches are ignored, Easwaran has scored a total of 4 centuries in the 5 test matches before that. Due to which, he can also become the favorite player of Team India head coach Gautam Gambhir at present. Gambhir can play a big bet by giving a chance to Easwaran.
Before leaving for Australia tour, Gautam Gambhir had also praised KL Rahul a lot. Rahul may not be performing very well at present, but he has always emerged as a great batsman for Team India on foreign tours. Due to which he can be made an opening batsman once again. So that he has another chance to prove himself.
