Sanjay Manjrekar, a former Indian cricketer, claimed that even though Shubman Gill scored a century in the first Test currently being played in Chattogram, he is unlikely to be given the chance to play against Bangladesh in the second Test if Rohit Sharma is healthy and eligible for selection.
In addition, he stated that KL Rahul would not be replaced by Gill by the Indian team management, despite the fact that the stand-in skipper was only able to score a maximum of 25 runs in each inning of the first Test.

India skipper Rohit Sharma is now out of the ongoing Test series against Bangladesh due to injury. Rohit had a finger injury during the second ODI in Dhaka and was recommended to rest by a private specialist in Mumbai. As per recent reports, Rohit could be fit in time for the second Test, which begins on December 22nd, and will also be available for selection.
If that happens, who should sit out: the present stand-in skipper KL Rahul or the ongoing Test century-scorer Shubman Gill? Sanjay Manjrekar, an Indian commentator, offers an answer.

Sanjay Manjrekar remarked in an interview with Sony Sports Network that if Rohit is fit and chosen for the second Test, KL, who is the favored opener, may probably keep his spot while Shubman Gill, who just achieved his first Test century, may be benched.
“This guy has got a hundred, he has looked good. Let’s imagine if Rohit Sharma is fit, KL Rahul and Rohit are your first-choice openers, you have to go back to Rohit Sharma. He is your captain. KL Rahul is not getting as many runs as he would like but they are not going to leave KL Rahul out,” Sanjay Manjrekar said.
“Shubman Gill may have to sit out. Ajinkya Rahane, it happened with him once, I think. It has happened before Indian cricket,” Sanjay Manjrekar added.
Rohit missed out on the first Test as he had suffered a thumb injury during the ODI series that preceded the Test contest.
