Gill was injured in the practice match
Gill suffered a thumb injury when he batted during India’s intra-squad practice match at the WACA Ground. Due to this injury, he could not participate in the first match of the series, which was a big setback for the Indian team, due to which Gill will not be able to play the match. However, the severity of his injury is not yet clear whether he will be fit to participate in the second Test match or not, it is not yet clear.
Gill will participate in pink ball practice match
Team India is scheduled to take on Australia’s Prime Minister XI in a pink ball practice match starting Saturday in Canberra, moving ahead with its practice sessions. According to a Times of India report, Gill is certain to play in the match to be held at Manuka Oval, but his playing at Adelaide Oval is still uncertain. There are constant hopes of Gill recovering from the injury and being fit for the second Test match, but his final decision will be taken by the team and the medical team.
India’s preparations for the second Test
The Indian team is currently making its preparations in Australia at a rapid pace. Organizing a pink ball practice match ahead of the second Test match to be held at Adelaide Oval is helping the Indian team to test its strategies and adapt to the conditions. However, Shubman Gill’s injury and the uncertainty of his return could become a concern for the Indian team.
India’s batsmen have always faced tough challenges in Australia, and Gill’s absence along with his injury could put the Indian team in further trouble. In such a situation, Indian fans are waiting for Gill’s fitness and his return to the field for the next match.
Doubts and updates on the fitness of key Indian players
It has now become difficult for India’s star batsman Shubman Gill to play in the second Test match against Australia. According to the report, Gill has been advised by the medical specialist to rest for 10-14 days after the thumb injury. Gill will not play in the practice match to be held on the weekend and will not be able to play in his second Test
Mohammad Shami unlikely to leave for Australia
Meanwhile, there were some rumours about India’s fast bowler Mohammed Shami that he would soon leave for Australia. However, the report has made it clear that at the moment there is no talk about sending Shami to Australia. Shami has recently returned from a knee injury and at this time only the fast bowlers already present in the team have been selected. These fast bowlers have played their role brilliantly in the opening Test match in Perth and there is no possibility of any change in the team selection.
Rohit Sharma’s return and team selection
Returning captain Rohit Sharma is set to be included in the playing XI for the second Test. According to the report, Sharma’s return may also lead to changes in the team and young batsman Devdutt Padikkal will be included in his place. However, KL Rahul’s excellent form in the pink ball practice match also comes to everyone’s notice and if Gill is not able to fit in time, then Rahul can be included in the playing XI at number three in place of Gill.
Some experts also believe that if Rohit Sharma bats in the middle order, it can lead to better results for the Indian team, and especially if Rohit Sharma bats at number five or six. It all depends on how well Gill’s injury heals and how quickly he recovers.
Team India’s preparations for Adelaide Test
The Indian team is currently preparing for the second Test to be held at Adelaide Oval. The uncertainty surrounding the injury and fitness of Shubman Gill and Mohammed Shami at this time can be a cause of concern for the Indian team. However, other players like Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul and fast bowlers who performed well in the Perth Test are still giving a positive sign for the Indian team.
However, it remains to be seen how the fitness of the players remains in the next few days and how the final playing eleven of the team is decided.
