India is all set to lock horns with West Indies where they will play two Test matches, three ODIs, and five T20Is starting from Wednesday, July 12. The tour will start with the Test series taking place first. The first Test is scheduled to be played from July 12 to July 16 at Windsor Park, Roseau, in Dominica. Ahead of the first Test, Men in Blue skipper, Rohit Sharma thinks that Ruturaj Gaikwad has the potential to be successful in the longest format of the game in the same way as he is in the shortest format.
“Ruturaj has got all the potential to be successful in red-ball cricket. He has shown us in T20 cricket what he can do. It’s time for him, I’m sure he’s also looking forward to getting more runs for the Indian team. It’s quite exciting when you have guys like these coming into the squad. It’s good for the Indian team,” Rohit was quoted as saying to the reporters.
Let’s hope he performs really well and makes that spot his own: Rohit Sharma
Gaikwad will have to wait as Jaiswal has been selected to open, but Gill, who has previously started for India in Test matches, has now been given his preferred batting position – No. 3, instead of Gaikwad.
“As far as batting positions are concerned, Gill will bat at No. 3 as He wanted to bat at the spot. He had discussion with Rahul bhai that he has played all his cricket at No. 3 and No. 4 and can contribute better for the team from No. 3. For us, it’s also better since we get left-right combo. This is what we are trying and hopefully, this becomes a long-term thing as we have been desperate for a left-hander. Let’s hope he performs really well and makes that spot his own,” the 35-year-old asserted.
