Former Tamil Nadu player Sunil Subramaniam, who was India's manager and a part of Ravi Shastri's think-tank in the 2018 series, weighed in on the subject and said that there are several options in front of the team management at present with youngsters like Gill and Prithvi Shaw performing brilliantly off late.
