Kolkata: Former Cricketer India Deep Dasgupta said that if the situation arose where the team had to look at the opening substitute for Shubman Gill before the five test series against England, the choice must be between Maya Agarwal and Kl Rahul.
While the Indian cricket team in the UK was a fretic from Gill’s fitness who was doubtful for the first test that began in Nottingham on August 4 and speculation was building whether India would send backup, Indian cricket boards had not come out with an official statement about the status of the batsman injury.
Until now, the only available information is that Gill has a foot injury.
There is no information about what it is injured and in the legs.
Dasgupta, the commentator changed by Cricketer, said that Agarwal must be the first choice as an opening because it is more suitable for the conditions of English and has a better defense technique than Rahul.
“There are two direct options – mayak agarwal and KL Rahul.
My selection applies to Maya Agarwal because, yes, he does have two or three bad shows but overall, I think the test career is truly impressive – in India and especially abroad .
“For Kl Rahul, see, he has opened or played in the top of his life both for Karnataka or India in a red ball or white ball cricket,” Dasgupta said on his YouTube channel on Saturday.
“But he (Rahul) Have played white ball cricket, the technique has changed a little, he becomes more attacking.
The striker’s technique has increased but his defense technique …
he didn’t pay much attention.
That’s why I feel that KL Rahul, as far as the Cricket Ball-Ball is a very good selection of intermediate settings.
“The former Indian Cricketer player Wasim Jaffer also said recently that Agarwal was his choice to replace Gill if the situation appeared.
Agarwal has scored two centuries twice, against South Africa and Bangladesh, in 2019 on how to surpass Sir Don Bradman in the fastest list To print two tons of double test.
“This will be a very big opportunity for Maya Agarwal and Kl Rahul with mayak.
be my first preference.
He has a very good career so far.
He was dropped after two bad roads in Australia but I was sure he would look forward to this opportunity, “Jaffer said.
