On those hard pitches, he should do well. But if he fails, needs to be dropped as well. But we've bigger problems at 4 (Kohli) and 5 (KL). We can't expect lower order and bowlers to clean their shyte everytime. Take out Jaiswal and we have a non-existing batting lineup!

Cannot have a technically deficient batter coming at #3 and then #5 who lacks the guts. This will be more or less be the situation everytime in testing conditions.

Never see such a laggy Ind batting line-up. Even Pujara and rahane are looking good now.

2 years since this thread and the ice is super thick it seems

He is very lightweight cricketer, can walk on thin ice forever.

Our "seniority" culture has truly f***ed us. Despite proving in 2020-21 Test series in Aus that you don't need experience and can win without has beens, we're back to the same spot, i.e. we need "eggsperience"

Did okay today. I've a feeling he'll flourish too if 4 and 5 are replaced. Was good vs Eng too.

I've high hopes for him too for Aus series. But if he doesn't perform there, he has to be kicked out. Way too many chances for minimal returns yet.

Mainly failed in Eng and SA so far. Will only think of dropping him when Kela and Kohli are dropped. They got way more chances, especially Kela

That decision doesn't even merit a discussion. Sarfaraz and Jurel (or maybe Musheer or even Axar) deserve a spot ahead of these two. Add absolutely no value to the team.

What is the molecular structure of this "thin ice" ?
KL is walking on it since last 2 years, yet he always find a way to survive.

Walking on thin ice is what you would want to think, but the TM doesn't think that way at all

Yup. Meritocracy and performances have been replaced by seniority and experience. The seeds were sown when Karun Nair was discarded right after scoring a triple hundred. Now the situation's a joke. You discard a player for non-performance (KL Rahul) and he walks right back after a couple of series despite no performances. And likes of Sarfaraz and Jurel who performed at domestic level and intl level when given an opportunity, are back to languishing on the sidelines.

Either ice is not as thin or he is getting better at walking on thin ice

Yup, Gill has done enough over the last two series to secure his spot.

[BacktoCricaddict]

KLR *is* thin ice.

[vvvslaxman]

In the commentary, Harsha, Tamim, Ravi, DK , Murali Kartik all were in consensus  Kela is a mental midget lol They just didn't use that word. But they hyped him so much. But also they pointed out that he didn't live up to his "potential".

People mix formats when talking about Gill, in tests he scored 450+ runs with 2 100s and 2 50s just in the last series, no reason to drop him from the test team after that performance. He was on thin ice at the start of the England series but not anymore , he’s on quite thick sheet of ice now.
