The competition for the openers’ slots has intensified following India’s T20I series win in Zimbabwe and for contender Shubman Gill, that can only be a “good thing”.
Gill, who is expected to open alongside Yashasvi Jaiswal in the three T20Is in Sri Lanka later this month, was the leading run-getter in the five-match series in Harare. He was not part of the T20 World Cup squad in the USA and the Caribbean.
