Gill fractures thumb, doubtful for first Test
MUMBAI: In a major blow to India’s hopes of fielding a settled batting combination for the first Test against Australia starting in Perth on November 22, in-form batter Shubman Gill injured his left thumb on the second day of India’s intra-squad practice match at the WACA ground. Gill’s absence is particularly a blow for India as skipper Rohit Sharma is unlikely to make it in time for the first Test after the birth of his second child on Friday. On the first day of India’s match simulation on Friday, the other opening option KL Rahul was hit on the elbow by a rising delivery. Sudarshan and Padikkal were among the runs in India A’s first unofficial Test against Australia A. Padikkal played his only Test against England at Dharamsala, scoring 65 batting at No.4 in Kohli’s absence.
