All players want to play positively and aggressively. Everyone looks to score runs at a fast pace. Shubman Gill is also included in this. If you ask him to score runs at a slow pace, he will also not be able to enjoy it. You are taking away their game from them.

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.
