Malewar, who hails from Nagpur, is a top order batter for Vidarbha in the domestic circuit. The youngster had a strong showing in the 2024-25 edition of the Ranji Trophy- he scored 783 runs in nine matches at an average of 52, including two centuries and six half centuries.
With Rohit Sharma yet to regain full fitness, Malewar is expected to open the batting alongside Quinton de Kock in the first innings after GT captain Shubman Gill won the toss and chose to bowl first.
