For the number three spot, India needs someone like Cheteshwar Pujara, who has done so well playing there for so many years. He would have been there because he has played 100 Test matches. I think if he had been there, he wouldn’t have gotten to hit the ball. He would let the ball come in, in this situation you miss a player like that. India are definitely in a spot of bother in this match.

Parthiv further said- Shubman Gill has shown that he has the ability to score runs in Australia, although all of his runs came as an opener. Rishabh Pant’s 89 runs are always talked about in the Gabba Test we won, but Shubman Gill also scored 91 runs as an opener. So he (Gill) knows that he can bat under pressure.

“Gohit” Sunil Gavaskar suggests new name for Team India’s batting approach in Test cricket
Instead of using the words this-ball or that-ball, I would suggest using the captain’s first name, Rohit – Sunil Gavaskar Rohit Sharma & Sunil Gavaskar (Photo Source: Under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, India recently won the two-match Test series against Bangladesh 2-0. The second match of the series was played in Kanpur, after two days of play was abandoned without a single ball being bowled due to rain. On the fourth day, Team India adopted an attacking approach and batted brilliantly, due to which the result of the match was achieved. Former Indian batsman Sunil Gavaskar suggested that India’s batting approach in Test cricket should be given a new name instead of ‘Bazball’ or some other ball. Looking at the team’s performance, Gavaskar said that this kind of approach should be called “Gohit”. I would suggest using the captain’s first name, Rohit – Sunil Gavaskar Former Indian batsman Sunil Gavaskar wrote in his column in Sportstar, “Instead of using the terms this-ball or that-ball, I would suggest using the captain’s first name, Rohit, and call it the “Gohit” approach. Hopefully, smart people will come up with a trendy name for it instead of a lazy choice after “Bazball.” One newspaper called Indian batting “Bossball” because the team captain or “Boss”, Rohit, led the way, while some of the Old Powers called it “Gamball” after Indian coach Gautam Gambhir.” “Baz” is the nickname of his New Zealand coach Brendon McCullum – Gavaskar Sunil Gavaskar also explained the logic behind naming England’s style of play in Test cricket as ‘Bazball’. He said that Baz is the nickname of the team’s head coach Brendon McCullum, who used to play in Test cricket even during his playing days. Had an attacking style. “This Indian batting approach was called this-ball and that-ball after the term “Bazball” was coined for the batting approach of the England team. It was called so because “Baz” is the nickname of his New Zealand coach Brendon McCullum, who batted exactly the way his team was doing.
