Shubman should consider following up on these records. He has changed his batting number. I think he agrees. He moved into the crucial No. 3 position, which required a significant adjustment. When he decided to change his number to 3, he had to adapt. I think it was a journey of adjustment. There was a lot of pressure on him in the last series against England.
When he started playing, he was able to carry on when he started making runs there. If you talk about the next phase of transition in Test Cricket, this player will be very important at number 3. If he scores runs and plays well, it will be positive for the Indian team. You excite a lot of people.”
