In a major blow to Team India , the star right-handed batsman Shubman Gill has suffered a severe injury ahead of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25.
Shubman Gill is a key member of the Indian team and him getting injured will change the dynamics of the playing XI in the Test series against Australia.
Shubman Gill doubtful for the Perth Test
According to the latest report in TOI, Shubman Gill suffered a finger injury while taking the catch in the slips during the match simulation against India A in Perth.
His finger injury is a serious one and it makes him doubtful for the Test series opener, which will be played in Perth from November 22.
However, there is a possibility of the star batter returning to India playing XI in the second Test, which will be played from December 6 in Adelaide.
“Yes, Shubman Gill is injured but it is too early to rule him out of the opening Test. The medical team is keeping a close watch on him,” said the well-placed source, as quoted by TOI.
