India captain Hardik Pandya on Thursday said that Prithvi Shaw will have to wait for his opportunity as Shubman Gill has done very well and will start as an opener with Ishan Kishan in the first T20I of the three-match series against New Zealand, here.

After his impressive outings in domestic cricket, Shaw recently made a comeback to the national team. Known for his attacking approach, the right-hander batter is a compelling option for India. However, Pandya, on the eve of the match said that Gill, who has been in sensational form in ODIs -- hitting three hundreds including a double ton in his last four innings -- will open the innings.
