Shubman Gill, who scored his second Test ton on Day 3 and gave India an excellent start. As the Indian team is qualify for the World Test Championship final, veteran Indian wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik feels that Rahul can be considered if he is ready to keep wickets.
Dinesh Karthik opens up about Gill’s future in the Indian team
“I will see how Rahul feels because KL is not somebody who enjoys keeping in Test cricket because it is a completely different ball game. But I will definitely keep that in the back of my mind. It is an option that is very, very usable if KL is up for wicketkeeping,” Karthik was quoted as saying on Cricbuzz.
“I will definitely go with Shubman Gill, there’s no doubt about it. The man’s got a hundred in the last Test before the WTC final. You get the feeling that Shubman Gill is in for the long run. He is a long racehorse. He’s the one that you want to put your money on and say, ‘I want to see him in 2033 still there opening for India’,” Karthik added.
