Firstly, maybe KL Rahul should replace Prithvi Shaw as an opener. At No. 5 or No. 6, Shubman Gill should come in. His form has been good.

It can happen (comeback)," said Gavaskar, sounding hopeful.</p>.<p>"India should start the Melbourne Test well, it's necessary for them to step on to the ground with a lot of positivity. Australia's weak point is their batting," he said.</p>.<p>Gavaskar feels that the anger among fans is natural after the 36 all out in the first Test.</p>.<p>"It's natural that there is anger after such a performance.
