Shubman Gill Injury: Even before the start of the England series, Team India had suffered a major setback. Shubman Gill will not be able to represent Team India in the first few Test matches due to an internal injury.
The information received from the report has revealed that Shubman Gill is battling a serious internal injury. But till now not much detail has been known about his injury.
 Gill is the future of India in cricket and thus management is giving him a lot of chances to groom himself on the big stage.Â
Even before the World Test Championship, the team management had announced that they would give Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma a long time to open together. But due to the sudden injury, Team India needs to find another opener in place of Gill.

So now take a look at who can fill the opening spot in the absence of Gill:
Mayank Agarwal :
Mayank Agarwal is the first and strongest candidate who can replace Gill in the England series. He does not have the experience of playing Tests in England but has so far represented India in 14 Test matches. He was the second-highest run-scorer for India in the recently concluded World Test Championship. In Gill’s absence, Mayank is likely to get the chance for India.
K L Rahul:Â
KL Rahul is considered one of the stylish batsmen of the 21st century. But he is still looking for his place in the Indian Test team. Management can also provide him a chance to open with Rohit. This is a golden opportunity for him to fix his place in Team India’s Test team.
Cheteshwar Pujara:
Cheteshwar Pujara is the most dependable batsman for India in red-ball cricket for a long time. Pujara is playing cricket for Team India as a red ball specialist. Team India management is thinking of dropping him from the first 11 for the England series. But in Gill’s absence, he can be given a chance to open the innings. Also, he had an experience of opening in England.Â
