'Tough to look beyond Shreyas in WC playing XI, Gill to be main player'

India find themselves in a problem of plenty in the middle with Iyer, Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav staking a claim for one spot.

He is very positive with his intent and looks to score all the time. He can make a big impact in the game.
