After a crushing defeat in the ODI against New Zealand, the Indian cricket team now has to play in the Test series. The team's regular opener Rohit Sharma is injured and who will replace Mayank Agarwal is a big question. India's legendary spinner Harbhajan Singh has said that young Shubman Gill should be given a chance.

The first match of the two-match Test series against New Zealand starts on February 21. There is a lot of talk about who will start the Indian innings with Mayank Agarwal in this match. Rohit Sharma is out of the ODI and Test series due to injury in the last match of the T20 series.

Speaking to PTI, Harbhajan Singh said, "Shubman should get a chance as he has been with the reserve opener for a long time. He is walking with the team without playing in a Test match. Regarding Shubman, Harbhajan said, He has scored a lot of runs wherever he has played. I think Shubman should start the innings in Tests with Mayank. "

Shubman has scored enough runs for India A while playing in New Zealand. He has scored at an average of 211 in two official Tests. During this time, he got a double century and a century with his bat. Gill had an unbeaten 204 against New Zealand A.

On Mayank's failure in the ODI series, Harbhajan said, "Mayank is an established opener and top batsman in Test cricket. He knows his game quite well. Only three ODI innings and a practice match, you have him Can't make it out. It wouldn't be right to do so at all. "
