Virat Kohli might get a few more matches to get back to his best. However, India must plan for the future at the earliest. Here, we take a look at the list of three players who could be tried at No.4 in Tests for India in the coming months.
1) Dhruv Jurel
Dhruv Jurel showed technical competency in the India A matches against Australia. However, he could not get a lot of matches in the BGT.
Nevertheless, he has the skills to excel in this role. Therefore, in the coming months, he has a chance to operate at No.4.
2) Shubman Gill could play No.4 in Tests for India
Shubman Gill is one of the players who could be tried at No.4 in Tests for India in the coming months. No.4 is an iconic slot in Tests and Gill could fill that.
Yes, Gill is struggling for India but he has the flair to become a legend. Therefore, India might persist with him in the premier middle-order slot.
3) Rishabh Pant
India now has Nitish Kumar Reddy who comes in as a solid No.5 or No.6 option in Tests. The likes of Sarfaraz Khan and Dhruv Jurel are also in the fray.
Therefore, Rishabh Pant could get a chance here. It could be an important move for him to take his game to the next level.
