Former India batter Sanjay Manjrekar has said that it will be difficult to fit both Ishan Kishan and Shubman Gill in the Indian team. Speaking to the host broadcaster, Manjrekar said that once KL Rahul comes back in the side, Kishan will have to make way for the Karnataka batter.
The former batter was of the opinion that Kishan has not settled himself in the middle order and that is why will not be able able to dislodge KL Rahul from that position.
“Difficult to fit Ishan Kishan and Shubman Gill together because when KL Rahul is available. He is also a keeper, he will take the position in number 5 and between Ishan and KL Rahul at that position, you have got to say that KL Rahul is ahead of him. So, well, with so many matches happening, at least there are opportunities, and the best you can do is get a double hundred and get dropped for a couple of matches. That’s how Indian cricket is at the moment. There is great depth in white ball cricket in India at the moment,” Manjrekar said ahead of the game.
