Premier batter Gill will be the Indian captain\u2019s opening partner during the three-match series, he has revealed. Although Gill was confirmed as India\u2019s opening choice by Rohit, the Indian captain also noted Kishan\u2019s recent batting successes. In the previous ODI series between Bangladesh and India, opener Kishan scored an incredible double-century.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBoth openers (Gill and Kishan) have done really well. But looking at how both have gone through, I think it is fair that we give Gill a chance to have a fair run because in the last games Gill got a lot of runs as well. I am not going to take anything from Ishan. He has been wonderful for us. He got a double hundred and I know what it takes to get a double hundred, it is a great achievement. But just to be honest and be fair to the guys, who have done really well before that we need to give those guys enough chances as well,\u201d Rohit told reporters on the eve of the 1st ODI against Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Captain <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ImRo45?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@ImRo45<\/a> was all praise for youngsters <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ShubmanGill?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@ShubmanGill<\/a> & <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ishankishan51?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@ishankishan51<\/a> ahead of the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/INDvSL?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#INDvSL<\/a> ODI series starting tomorrow \ud83d\udc4c\ud83c\udffb\ud83d\udc4c\ud83c\udffb<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mastercardindia?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@mastercardindia<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/vlZyeGpChP\">pic.twitter.com\/vlZyeGpChP<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 BCCI (@BCCI) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BCCI\/status\/1612437309106057225?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 9, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The One Day International (ODI) series opener between India and Sri Lanka is scheduled for Tuesday, and Indian captain Rohit\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":250,"featured_media":28142,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[626,230],"class_list":["post-5173","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cricket","tag-ishan-kishan","tag-shubman-gill"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5173","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/250"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5173"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5173\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28142"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5173"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5173"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5173"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
