Gaurav’s Tweet: #Breaking: Big blow for India just ahead of BGT...India batter Shubman Gill hurts his finger while taking a catch in slips during match simulation vs India A at Perth, in doubt for 1st Test vs Australia from November 22 at Perth..likely to return for 2nd Test #BGT2024 — Gaurav Gupta (@toi_gauravG) November 16, 2024 The Indian team participated in an intra-squad practice match to adapt to the Australian conditions ahead of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Unfortunately, the game turned out to be a challenging experience for the visitors. First, KL Rahul, a strong contender for the opening slot, was sidelined due to an elbow injury. Then came a scare with Virat Kohli, who sustained a significant blow and had to undergo a scan. Thankfully, the results were positive, and he is set to play the first Test. Sarfaraz Khan also faced a similar injury scare but was eventually cleared to play. Adding to the team’s woes, Shubman Gill is now doubtful for the Perth Test, posing another major hurdle. Moreover, there’s still uncertainty about whether the Indian skipper Rohit Sharma will feature in the opening game. If in case he remains unavailable for the first match then Jasprit Bumrah will take charge.
