Border, Gavaskar back Gill to open in first Test ahead of Shaw

Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar and former Australia skipper Allan Border have backed Shubman Gill to open in the first Test against Australia at Adelaide as an opener ahead of Prithvi Shaw, who they feel is loose outside the off-stump and plays too many shots. While Shaw failed to get a fifty, aggregating 62 in four innings in the 2 warm-up games, Gill made 127 at 31.75 with a 65 in those games.
