"I will want to see Rahane at number four. I will not want to him stay at number five because if he is the captain now, he has to lead from the front. So, Rahane should play at number four in place of Virat Kohli," Gambhir said on Star Sports show 'Cricket Connected'.
India need to play Shubman Gill as Mayank Agarwal's opening partner and include both Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin along with three fast bowlers for their upcoming second Test against Australia, says former India batsman Gautam Gambhir.
Gambhir also said that Ajinkya Rahane, who will captain India for the remainder of the series in the absence of Virat Kohli, should also take up the number four spot that has been left vacant by Kohli.
"I will want to see Rahane at number four. I will not want to him stay at number five because if he is the captain now, he has to lead from the front. So, Rahane should play at number four in place of Virat Kohli," Gambhir said on Star Sports show 'Cricket Connected'.
"KL Rahul should play at number five and Rishabh Pant should play at number six. Jadeja and Ashwin should play at number seven and eight and then three seamers. I will want to go in with five bowlers," said Gambhir.
