Shubman Gill continues to struggle at his chosen number three slot. After making only six in Roseau he reached 10 on Thursday, in the second test against West Indies, before being caught behind to Kemar Roach.

Gill's move to number three again failed to bring the desired result. His second consecutive failure at number three triggered a mini-slide for India.

Gill has the full backing of the India test team as he adjusts to his move from the top of the order to the number three slot, batting coach Vikram Rathour had said ahead of the second match against West Indies in Port of Spain.

Before the start of the two-test series in West Indies, Gill asked to bat at three, a position long held by veteran Cheteshwar Pujara before he was dropped from the side.

Former test player Rathour said Gill was the "future" of Indian cricket, highlighting the right-hander's prolific run of form which includes hundreds in each format of the international game.

However, back to back failures by Gill have led to fans questioning his place in the side and prompted memefest on social media.
