India needs to play Shubman Gill as Mayank Agarwal's opening partner and include both Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin along with three fast bowlers for their upcoming second Test against Australia, says former India batsman Gautam Gambhir.

Gambhir also said that Ajinkya Rahane, who will captain India for the remainder of the series in the absence of Virat Kohli, should also take up the number four spot that has been left vacant by Kohli.
