Legendary Indian batsman Sunil Gavaskar wants KL Rahul to open in place of an out-of-form Prithvi Shaw and the promising Shubman Gill to play in middle order during the second Test against Australia at the MCG from December 26. India lost the opening Test by eight wickets, crumbling to their lowest ever Test score of 36 during the debacle.
"India will look at making 2 changes. Firstly, maybe KL Rahul should replace Prithvi Shaw as an opener. At No. 5 or No. 6, Shubman Gill should come in. His form has been good. Things can change if we start well," Gavaskar told YouTube channel `Sposhubrts Tak` on possible changes in the line-up. He did caution that if India can`t stay positive, a 0-4 drubbing might just be on cards. "India have to believe that they can come back in the remainder of the Test series. If India don`t find the positivity, then 4-0 series loss can happen. But if they have positivity, why not? It can happen (comeback)," Gavaskar said, sounding hopeful.
