These 3 dangerous players can replace Shubman Gill against Australia
Cheteshwar Pujara
Cheteshwar Pujara, the dashing batsman who is called the shield of Team India in Test cricket, has been ignored by the Indian selectors for the last one year. After the flop performance in the World Test Championship Final 2023, he was shown the way out of the team.
