In the lead-up to the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia, Parthiv Patel emphasizes Shubman Gill's pivotal role at No. 3 for India, noting his past success as an opener during the 2020-21 series against Australia. Meanwhile, India captain Rohit Sharma is confident in Yashasvi Jaiswal's potential, praising his adaptation to international cricket and his impressive record of 1,217 runs at an average of 64.05 in 11 Tests. Jaiswal's aggressive style and eagerness to learn are seen as assets for the team, with Rohit and experts like Anil Kumble acknowledging the young batter's talent.
