shubhman gill returns to nets practice ahead india vs prime ministers xi practice match border gavaskar trophy 2024 ind vs aus 2nd test

Shubhman Gill Nets Practice Border Gavaskar Trophy: The second match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy will be played in Adelaide from December 6, but before that, India vs Prime Minister's XI practice match is to be played in Canberra. Now hope has arisen that Shubman Gill can be seen playing in this practice match. Let us remind you that before the Perth Test, he had suffered a thumb injury, after recovering from which he was seen practicing in the nets again. Gill was given 10-14 days time to recover from the injury and now it seems as if Gill is completely fit.

Gill was seen practicing on the ground in Canberra on which the India vs Prime Minister's XI practice match is to be played. There were speculations that he would not be able to play the second Test due to being unfit, but his return to the nets is a great news for Indian cricket fans. If Gill plays the practice matches, he will definitely be seen playing in the pink-ball Test match to be held in Adelaide.

GREAT NEWS FOR TEAM INDIA…!!!

What will be the return to number-3?

Let us remind you that in the first test match, Devdutt Padikkal had replaced Shubman Gill. Unfortunately, Padikkal was able to play innings of 0 and 25 runs respectively in that match. Meanwhile, the issue has also come up that Gill should leave the third order and bat lower in the order. The responsibility of the third position should be given to KL Rahul because he seems to be in very good form at the moment. KL Rahul had played innings of 26 and 77 runs in the Perth Test match. His 26 runs in the first innings were very important because his innings came at a time when Team India was in danger of being all out on a score of less than 100 runs.
