Gill, who made his debut on the international stage with his exploits in the ICC Under-19 World Cup, came with big promises but at the time it seems he is struggling on the international stage. With the likes of Rohit and Rahul ruled out of the final Test due to injury concerns, Gill was given the opportunity to open the batting with the experienced campaigner. Cheteshwar Pujara And play the first hour of the first session, which would have ensured India’s stronghold on the final Test at Edgbaston.
