Shubman Gill has requisite attributes to bat at the crucial number three slot in Indian Test line-up as he can shift gears as per requirement and shouldn't be judged on the basis of one failure, batting coach Vikram Rathour said on Sunday.

It was Rahane's first Test in 18 months and following that, he was named vice-captain for the ongoing tour of the West Indies.
