The second match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy will begin on December 6 in Adelaide, but before that, India will face the Prime Minister’s XI in a practice match in Canberra. Fans are excited as Shubman Gill might play in this practice match after recovering from his injury.
Gill had injured his thumb before the Perth Test, requiring 10-14 days to recover. Now, he has been seen practicing in the nets, indicating he might be fully fit. His return to the practice session is great news for Indian cricket fans. If he plays the practice match, he is likely to feature in the pink-ball Test in Adelaide as well.
Will Gill Bat at No. 3?
In the first Test, Devdutt Padikkal replaced Shubman Gill but managed only 0 and 25 runs in the two innings. This has sparked discussions about Gill’s batting position. Some suggest he should bat lower in the order, while KL Rahul, who is in excellent form, should take the No. 3 spot.
KL Rahul scored 26 and 77 runs in the Perth Test, with his first innings knock being crucial as it helped India avoid being bowled out for less than 100.
Gill’s potential return adds strength to the team as India prepares for the high-stakes Adelaide Test.
