India are currently playing a four-day practice match against Cricket Australia (CA) XI at the iconic Sydney Cricket Ground. While the Indians have played decently, they have been jolted with a body blow for the reason that Young Turk Prithvi Shaw injured his ankle while attempting a catch. Subsequently, he has also been ruled out of the opening Test, which is scheduled to start on December 6 at Adelaide Oval.

The youngster looked in pain and there has been no update on how much he’ll take to get fit. Hence, the chances of him getting ruled out of the entire series can’t be completely dismissed. Nevertheless, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-teams/india/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">India</a> have an abundance of talent in the batting department from where they can pick Shaw’s replacement. In our article, we take a look at three possible replacements of Shaw.

The 32-year-old hasn’t been consistent enough to retain his playing in the Test team. He performed poorly in England owing to which he couldn’t find a place in the two-match Test series against Windies, which took place last month. While he has been fairly impressive in home conditions, the left-hander has strained to perform under overseas conditions when the ball seams and swings around.

The Delhi-born cricketer got off to quite a few starts in the five-match series, but couldn’t capitalise on them. He scored only 162 runs at an average of 20.25. The selectors ran out of patience and they left him out of the Australia tour as well. But he may be roped in if Shaw doesn’t get to feature anymore in the series bearing in mind that Dhawan does have experience of playing in such conditions before.

The Karnataka-born batsman has been knocking on the selectors’ doors for quite a while now. The right-hander has racked up runs at will in India’s domestic cricket from the last season. He also played exceptionally, representing India ‘A’ in their tour of England. However, despite showing tremendous form over the last few months, he keeps on being overlooked, much to his disappointment.

The 27-year-old was rewarded as he was picked up for the two-match series against Windies. Unfortunately, he didn’t even find a place in the 12-man squads, which were announced one day prior to the games. To add to his agony, he was sidelined for the Australia series. But he may be drafted in, provided Shaw doesn’t get fit for the remaining three Tests in Perth, Melbourne, and Sydney.

The 19-year-old batsman played under Prithvi Shaw’s leadership in the U19 World Cup in <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/pakistan-vs-new-zealand-speedster-mohammad-abbas-ruled-out-of-third-test/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New Zealand</a> and has turned up with a number of impressive knocks. He was in top-notch form for Punjab in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, having scored 418 runs in seven matches with three half-centuries and a ton. Thereafter, he notched a match-winning century, playing for India ‘C’ in the Deodhar Trophy.

The Fazilka-born talent has represented his state in one match of this season’s <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/selectors-ask-hardik-pandya-to-prove-his-fitness-in-ranji-trophy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ranji Trophy</a> and racked up a couple of half-centuries. Gill is currently plying his trade for India ‘A’ in their third unofficial Test against New Zealand ‘A’ at Whangarei. He also got a national call-up midway through the second match against the Caribbeans and the selectors may resort to his services if Shaw gets ruled out of the series.
