Due to Cheteshwar Pujara’s departure from the Team India Test team, a new era will begin with the start of the two-match Test series against the West Indies on July 12. In Test cricket, the third batting position is the most crucial. The administration of Team India is already able to get three cricketers ready for the third batting position. Let’s look at the three batsmen who would be appropriate for the third spot in the Test lineup.<\/p>\n

1. Shubman Gill in Team India<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Shubman Gill has prior experience batting in the middle and opening positions. Shubman Gill made a lot of runs while batting in the middle of the order at the 2018 Under-19 World Cup. Shubman Gill’s hitting has a hint of Sachin Tendulkar in it, but he also plays solid defense like Rahul Dravid, making him a serious contender for the third batting spot in Test cricket. Shubman Gill might have the opportunity to bat at number three in the two-match Test series against the West Indies. Shubman Gill, a 23-year-old cricketer, has a remarkable batting average of 32.89 and has amassed 921 runs in 16 Test matches, including 2 hundred and 4 half-centuries. In Test games, Shubman Gill has a 128 run best.<\/p>\n

2. Suryakumar Yadav<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Suryakumar Yadav has extensive knowledge of middle-order batting. Suryakumar Yadav, a gifted batsman for the Indian cricket team, is adept at playing a variety of strokes and scoring runs all over the pitch. Suryakumar Yadav is a versatile player who excels at scoring runs by pelting the ball with fours and sixes all over the pitch. India’s version of AB de Villiers is Suryakumar Yadav. Suryakumar Yadav made his ODI and T20 debuts in 2021, and he played one match of Test cricket to date. Suryakumar Yadav made his Test debut in the Border Gavaskar series against Australia in 2023. Suryakumar Yadav needs to be given as many opportunities as possible in Test cricket in order to be effective.<\/p>\n

3. Yashwi Jaiswal<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Yashasvi Jaiswal is seen as a serious candidate for third place if we look at his records. India currently needs a batsman with Yashasvi Jaiswal’s level of explosiveness in the Test lineup. In the Indian Test team, Yashasvi Jaiswal may get a chance to start at number three. Yashasvi Jaiswal, a 21-year-old batsman, has an impressive batting average of 80.21 and has amassed 1845 runs in 15 first-class games, including 9 hundred and 2 half-centuries. The first-class record for Yashasvi Jaiswal is 265 runs.<\/p>
