  1. 'I Was Surprised to See Shubman Gill Hide his Injury' – Saba Karim Former India wicket-keeper batsman Saba Karim said that opener Shubman Gill should not have gone to the UK if he was aware of his injury from before. However, Gill took part in the inaugural World Test Championship (WTC) where India lost to New Zealand. After the WTC final, India are slated to play a five-match Test series against England and the team got a big blow with Gill’s injury. Meanwhile, Karim added that Gill should not have hidden the injury. He also said that Mayank Agarwal could replace him since Gill is not available. However, Agarwal didn’t get the chance after the 2020-21 Border Gavaskar Trophy in Australia. “I was surprised to see Shubman Gill hide his injury. He has been travelling for a long time with the Indian team. There are physios and other medical staff tracking the fitness of the players. It’s very surprising in the first place, how it happened and why it didn’t come up earlier. Mayank should be given preference. We have been harsh towards Mayank. He was sidelined after just 2-3 failed innings,” he added.

  2. On the other hand, another former cricketer Nikhil Chopra feels the same as he also believes Mayank Agarwal should replace Shubman Gill in the opening spot alongside Rohit Sharma, who has been a great form as well. “If you set standards for senior players like Rohit Sharma (who wasn’t sent to Australia initially due to an injury), then it’s applicable to other players also. Players who are already in the squad should be given a chance. Mayank had a terrific home series. It would be wrong to bring a player from the back instead of a player who is already present with you. It will set the wrong example,” Chopra said. However, this five-match Test series will provide another chance to India to bounce back in their original form in the Test format following the defeat in the WTC final.
