The golden opportunity for Shubman Gill and Kuldeep Yadav came in the first Test, and they took advantage of it. Shubman Gill and Kuldeep Yadav dominated the first Test. India, looking to command the World Test Championship, will attempt to finish the Bangladesh series with a victory here on Thursday, so K L Rahul will want to overcome his lean spell.
The competition for the two positions at the top of the WTC standings has become more intense as India moved up one spot following South Africa's heavy loss to Australia in the two-day Gabba Test. Rohit Sharma, the regular captain, is still recovering from his thumb injury and will not be replaced in the Indian squad. That situation did not arise when Rohit wasn't fit, so Gill will look to profit from it.
