Shubman Gill injured, may be out of first test against Australia

New Delhi. Shubman Gill may be out of the first test against Australia. Gill has a fracture in his/her left thumb. he/she suffered this injury while fielding in the slips on the second day of the intra-squad match. India vs Australia first test match will be played in Perth from 22nd November. Both the teams will face each other in a 5-match series. Gill, one of the young heroes of India’s last Border-Gavaskar Trophy victory, is the mainstay of the batting. If captain Rohit Sharma is out of the first Test, India’s top order may look weak. Gill got injured while fielding on the second day of the practice match by dividing the team into two parts.

After the injury, Shubman Gill was seen in a lot of pain and immediately left the field for a scan. According to a source in the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), who is aware of the matter, Gill has a fracture in his/her left thumb and there is less than a week left for the Test to start. Therefore, it will be almost impossible for this stylish right-handed batsman to be fit in time for the opening match. It usually takes around 14 days for a thumb fracture to heal after which the person is expected to start his/her regular net sessions.

Shubman Gill is likely to be fit for the second test
But the second Test in Adelaide is starting from December 6, so there is a possibility that he/she will be fit in time for that match. Gill’s absence can be very difficult for the national team as he/she is an important batsman at number three and in the absence of Rohit, he/she could be considered to open the innings with Yashasvi Jaiswal. Lokesh Rahul also got elbow injury by Prasidh Krishna’s short ball on the opening day of the team’s practice match and was forced to leave the field.

KL Rahul did not come on the second day
KL Rahul’s injured area required ‘icing’ and he/she did not take the field on the second day of practice on Saturday. However, this was done as a precaution. If Gill is absent then Abhimanyu Easwaran may get a chance to make his/her Test debut as India does not have many options. However, if captain Rohit Sharma, father of his/her son, decides to join the team for three days of training, then the story will be different.

Indian team will have 3 net sessions in Perth before the first test.
The last day of the practice match will be on Sunday, after which the India A team, except the reserve players, will return to India and the players will join their state teams for the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. After this, the main team will go to Optus Stadium in Perth where it will take part in three net sessions from Tuesday to Thursday before entering the Test starting on Friday.
