Gaikwad will go to Australia as the third opener
According to a report, Gaikwad may be given the opening role in Australia. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma will be the regular openers in the playing eleven but Gaikwad can also get the responsibility if needed. If any player gets injured or his form deteriorates then Gaikwad may get a chance. Team India has to go on Australia tour in December where a 5-match Test series will be played.
Gambhir-Rohit’s decision?
If there is news of Ruturaj Gaikwad’s selection for Australia tour, then obviously head coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Rohit Sharma will be the brain behind it. Rohit Sharma and Gautam Gambhir know that in Australia you need a technically strong batsman and Gaikwad is the best. He also plays well against the short ball. Not only this, his recent form is also good.
Will you get a chance in the New Zealand series?
Before the Test series against Australia, Team India also has to play a three-match Test series against New Zealand. Will Ruturaj Gaikwad be given a chance in this? However, Gaikwad is also likely to be sent on Australia tour with India A. India A team will tour Australia this month. The unofficial test between India A and Australia will be played on 31 October. The second unofficial test match will be played on 7 November. It is possible that Ruturaj Gaikwad will be given the captaincy of India A.
