The problems of the Indian team seem to be increasing before the five-match Test series against Australia. The players of the Indian team, which is struggling with poor form, are getting injured during practice sessions. After Sarfaraz Khan, Virat Kohli and KL Rahul, Shubman Gill got injured while fielding on Saturday. Gill suffered a finger injury while taking a slip catch.
According to RevSports, Shubman Gill suffered a finger injury while fielding during the second day of the intra-squad match simulation at the WACA Stadium. However, the team management will keep an eye on his fitness for a few days, after which a decision will be taken regarding his availability. After spending three days in the nets at the WACA, India have emphasized their preparations by fielding their key players at the Optus Stadium a week before the start of the series. This intra-squad match simulation included India A and some other players as the opposing team.
According to the report, Shubman Gill’s injury will be monitored for three days, after which a decision will be taken. KL Rahul was playing on 29 runs on the first day of the match simulation when a rising ball from fast bowler Prasidh Krishna hit his elbow. This batsman left the field after consulting the physio.
If Indian captain Rohit Sharma is unable to play in the first match of the five-Test series of Border Gavaskar Trophy, then Rahul is in the race to take his place in the team. According to the report of Sydney Morning Herald, star batsman Virat Kohli was scanned on Thursday for an unknown injury. However, this batsman took part in the match played between the teams on Friday and scored 15 runs.
