Will replace Gill
In fact, according to media reports, the selectors can give rest to Shubman Gill in the T20 series on the West Indies tour because Gill is playing cricket continuously. He is an important member of India’s ODI team and his place in the team is almost confirmed in the ODI World Cup. In such a situation, the selectors want to give rest to Gill. Inside Sports has written in its report that if Gill gets rest, then Rituraj Gaikwad can be given a chance in his place.
