Rahul has been struggling to get going for a decent amount of time now. The senior batter was recently stripped from the vice-captaincy post. With so many opportunities wasted, the Indian management might want to tinker on Rahul’s future in the Indian team.
Rahul has failed to notch up a 25-run mark on his last 10 Test games and has a subpar average of just 35 after having played 47 Test matches for the country. Now the question arises, who can replace KL Rahul? The answer is simple. India has quite a few options. Youngster Shubman Gill is desperate to get his chance.

The right-handed batter has four fifties and one century to his name with 110 being his highest score. Gill was also the part of the Indian squad when they toured Australia to play the last concluded Border-Gavaskar trophy.
