KOLKATA: Former India cricketer Deep Dasgupta has said that if the situation arises where the team has to look at a replacement for the injured opener Shubman Gill ahead of the five-Test series against England, the choice should be between Mayank Agarwal and KL Rahul. While the Indian cricket team in England is fretting over the fitness of Gill who is doubtful for the first Test that begins in Nottingham on August 4 and speculation is building on whether India will send a back-up, the Indian cricket board is yet to come out with an official statement on the status of the batsman's injury. As of now, the only information available is that Gill has a leg injury. There is no information on what the injury is and in which leg.
Dasgupta, cricketer-turned commentator, said that Agarwal should be the first choice as opener as he is better suited to English conditions and has a better defensive technique than Rahul. IANS
