Sunil Gavaskar further said that only one among Shreyas Iyer, Hanuma Vihari and Shubman Gill will get a chance. At the same time, India would like to go south of five bowlers.

There are many contenders in the field

The BCCI has dropped Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane from Team India. In such a situation, there is a tough competition between Shreyas Iyer, Hanuma Vihari and Shubman Gill to play at number three and number 5. When Sunil Gavaskar was asked whether Iyer was an automatic pick in the Test playing XI, he replied by saying this. 'There is no question about it'.
