I am aware of Gill but he is very young. But Vihari has a phenomenal first class record, he can’t have earned that without having the tools. He also got a stinker of a decision.

Rahane has hundreds every where, you don’t throw that away.
Vihari might have a great fc record but he was pretty hopeless when the Aussies bombed him with the chin music. As for Rahane, yes in the past he scored runs everywhere, but in his last 40 innings he's scored a solitary century.

Gill is about to reach 1000 fc in a mere 15 innings and despite the small sample size he got an eye watering average above 80!

India have a few Test against weaker opposition before the head to New Zealand next year for Tests, it's the correct time for a youngster like Gill to get his opportunity.

Ridiculous stat I noticed during the last test, but only just remembered about it and checked it all now.

Of the 8 Indians to bat in the first innings, 6 of them have first class triple hundred. Funnily enough the 2 without are Rahane and Kohli.

Not a single Oz batsmen has 1
Pretty sure that Sir Jadeja has three triple centuries as per Michael Hussey's knowledge  :o

Aussies saved by a bit of rain. Some of the shots were really poor especially on a flat wicket. Particularly Khawaja’s shot.
You could argue only Paine was got out but then again it’s not a great batsman anyway

Poor from Aus again. Batsmen quite simply playing too many shots for the situation. Nothing more nothing less. No brain and no willingness to adapt. It’s ‘positive’ crixket or nothing with these guys. That’s white ball mentality

That same logic got Ollie Pope selected.

TBH Pope debuted against a pretty outstanding bowling unit.

Should Gill debut India's next Test assignments are against Zimbabwe and Windies by far an easier task.

Plus I think we’ll hear a lot more from Mr Pope in the future

I agree Fattus, but like teenagers under a bridge, it all came a little too soon.

Why shouldn’t Vihari get that chance? Are you sure Gill is imperious against the short ball?

During the u19 World Cup Gill was the standout batsman and he wasn't intimidated by any of the genuinely quick bowlers, the young Aussies where particularly quick only in fact out paced by the Indian opening duo.

Vihari may well still get a chance as India's weakness is at 5 and 6.

Raining on the final morning too. Looks like the Aussies will get lucky with this test.

Aussies could end the series with no centurions - can’t remember the last time that happened at home

Apparently Aus only had 4 test centuries in all of 2018, which led to the first time more 5-fers were taken in test cricket as compared to tons. 4 tons in the entire year sounds pretty bad!
