\u201cI think there is still discussion going on about who is going to bat at No. 3. But No. 4 and 5 are fixed,\u201d Pant said. \u201cI think Shubman will bat at No. 4, and I am going to stick to No. 5 as of now. The rest, we are going to keep discussing.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
With the No. 4 position historically held by legends like Sachin Tendulkar and, more recently, Virat Kohli, Gill stepping into that role marks a significant shift in India's red-ball batting framework. Gill, who had been pushed to No. 3 after struggling as an opener, seems ready to embrace the responsibility of what is often considered the cornerstone position in Test batting.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The No. 3 slot, however, remains undecided. Karun Nair \u2014 who brings experience and a triple-century to his name \u2014 is one of the frontrunners, while rising star B Sai Sudharsan could also be in contention to make his debut.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
If Sudharsan gets the nod, he is likely to bat at No. 3. However, if India chooses to stack their lineup with three all-rounders, then Karun could take the slot, allowing the likes of Nitish Reddy, Ravindra Jadeja, and Shardul Thakur to bolster the lower-middle order.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
