Shubman Gill

Virat Kohli and his men are currently in England for the 5-match Test series against them. They will look to bring back the winning momentum after losing the ICC World Test Championship against New Zealand at the Ageas Bowl in Southampton. Now India's assignment is to seal the Test series against the hosts which will boost them ahead of the ICC T20 World Cup that is going to commence in few months. Besides, the longer-format opener Shubman Gill will be ruled out of the entire series after sustaining a serious leg injury during the practice session. So, let's have a look at the three players who might replace Shubman Gill ahead of the 5-match Test series against England.

3. Abhimanyu Easwaran

Abhimanyu Easwaran

The Bengal-based batsman Abhimanyu Easwaran is one of the consistent performers in the domestic circuit. The youngster has the ability to handle the new ball by using the crease will give a severe headache for the opposition bowlers to dismiss him. After watching his talent in the domestic circuit, the management of Team India has roped him as a reserve player ahead of the Test series. Moreover, he might gain a maiden Test cap if Virat Kohli and the team management decide to give him a chance. Having a look at his stats, the Bengal batsman has featured in 64 First-class games and amassed 4401 runs that he played at an average of 43.57 including 13 hundred to his name.

2. Mayank Agarwal

Mayank Agarwal

Mayank Agarwal failed to cement his place in the Indian team due to his lack of consistency with the bat against Australia in the previous year. But the outer of Shubman Gill would be a great opportunity for Mayank Agarwal to retain his position in the line-up. Moreover, his solid technique and long-playing ability will help him to get back to his prime form. The 30-year-old has represented India in 14 Tests and piled up 1052 runs that he played at an average of 45.74 which also includes two double hundred under his belt. Besides, Mayank's other threat will be James Anderson and Stuart Broad. Both the bowlers are known for their swing with the new ball which doesn't allow any opener to play along with the game.

1. KL Rahul

KL Rahul

Another Karnataka batsman on the list is none other than Punjab Kings captain KL Rahul. He is the kind of batsman who can play at any position and can score runs as well. KL Rahul is in red hot form with the bat in the limited-overs format but has been benched since 2019 after his poor show with the bat in the longer format of the game. However, the 29-year-old has once again roped by the Indian team and will be the first option to open the innings along with his teammate Rohit Sharma. So far, the Karnataka-based batsman has played 36 matches in the longest format and amassed 2006 runs at a decent average of 34.58 with five hundred to his name. He played his last Test in 2018 against the same opposition in their own soil and had struggled against both James Anderson and Stuart Broad.
