Pant to continue playing at No 5 spot

India vice-captain says Kohli’s No 4 position will be taken by captain Gill

- 

India vice-captain Rishabh Pant announced that he will continue to stick to the No 5 in the upcoming five high-stakes Tests against England, while newly-crowned Test captain Shubman Gill will take stalwart Virat Kohli’s No 4 spot in the format.

After Virat bid adieu to the Test format last month, speculations were heavily revolving around who would take up the mantle of bearing the responsibility of playing at No 4, a spot that has been held by the legendary Sachin Tendulkar.
