The likes of Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer deserve patience amid their current poor run, said India batting coach Vikram Rathour on Wednesday, urging his wards to tackle England’s aggression with intelligence in the second Test here.

“There are young batters in our team who have not played much Test cricket. So, we need to be a bit patient with them. Batters like [Shubman] Gill, [Yashasvi] Jaiswal and [Shreyas] Iyer will eventually start getting big runs, I’m sure of it,” Rathour said at a press conference here.


Although Jaiswal played a knock of 80 in the first innings of his fifth Test, Gill and Iyer failed to fire, continuing their struggles in the format. 

Gill hasn’t scored a 50 in his last nine Test innings. Iyer has been similarly off-colour. “There’s a difference between playing with intent and playing attacking cricket. I want them to play with intent. If there is the opportunity to score some runs, they should take it,” Rathour said.
