The right-hander has been in top form recently in white-ball cricket. Gill, who won the U-19 World Cup in 2018, scored a double ton and a century against New Zealand in ODIs at home earlier this year.
Despite that, Gill was benched in the first two Tests against Australia, attracting several criticisms on the Indian team management. He finally got a chance in the third Test in Indore although in a losing encounter.
With the World Test Championship (WTC) final spot on the line, Gill is likely to retain his place in the playing XI in the fourth Test in Ahmedabad starting on Thursday. India need to win the fourth Test against Australia to qualify for the final.
If India fail to win the final Test, they will have to depend on the outcome of the New Zealand vs Sri Lanka series. Australia have already qualified for the WTC final that will be played at The Oval from June 7-11.
