Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra suggested Ruturaj Gaikwad as Shubman Gill's replacement in the playing XI if Gill isn't available for the second Test against South Africa. "Should Ruturaj be selected in the Test team?" he said. Aakash added, "You've Sai Sudharsan and Devdutt Padikkal sitting outside - two more left-handers. You've six left-handers in the XI at the moment."
