One of the reasons behind the move was that he was probably prepared to take in number 4 position when Kohli eventually vacated the spot.WV Raman, former India opener who gave India coaching U-19S, when Gill played, believes his location should not be disturbed. “Gill has opened or batted at number 3 throughout his life. KL Rahul is the most experienced batsman in the lineup. We have no one to match Kohli and Tendulkar’s stature. In that scenario, the most experienced batsman is to be given the responsibility of batting at number 4.”

Gandhi said, “Rahul’s career revolves around fittings in places where the team needed to fill someone. At the moment, Sai Reformson is in form and they are confident.” times of India “If the team management feels that Rahul is situated at the top, he should see Gill as an alternative to bat at number 4. Gill has a good middle-order batsman game. We saw that ‘A’ during his days with India and if he becomes captain, it can be a long-term responsible role.”
