Gill will play at number three in this match and he has taken this decision himself. Against this backdrop, former Indian cricketer Akash Chopra gave a special reaction.

Because we have never seen such things happen in Indian cricket. We have never seen a player say to the team management that he likes to bat in a particular position. No one demands it and it is not given importance in this way. But the good thing is that Yashasvi Jaiswal will be able to play the opener.”

Akash Chopra further said that it was already envisaged that Gill would play in the middle order instead of opening in the future. He said that he had tweeted about this in 2020. “Shubman Gill will play at number three, which is not surprising at all. I had tweeted in 2020 itself that he is going to play for India for a long time and you can see him playing in the middle order in the coming years. Now he himself has expressed such a desire,” added Chopra.

Meanwhile, considering this match between the two teams, India had to bowl first after losing the toss. Batting first, West Indies were bowled out for just 150 runs.
