A week before to the Border-Gavaskar Trophy commencing, Shubman Gill sustained a finger injury on the second day of the intra-squad practice match, dealing India yet another setback. Shubman hurt his finger while fielding in slips, according to the Times of India. Although Shubman has not yet received an official statement, the article also states that he is not officially ruled out of the Perth Test match.

Shubman Gill is hurt, but it’s too soon to say that he won’t play in the first Test. He is being closely monitored by the medical staff,” a source told TOI. “Virat Kohli is doing well. In the match simulation, he batted painlessly and was struck in the net after leaving the field. When providing an update on Virat Kohli, the insider said, “There are no worries there.”

India’s problems have been exacerbated by Shubman’s ailment. On the first day of the match, KL Rahul was hit and did not bat again, but other batters did.

In the intra-squad match, Rahul began the innings alongside Yashasvi Jaiswal. If Rohit Sharma is unavailable, Rahul is expected to take on the new ball in Perth. It doesn’t seem like Abhimanyu Easwaran is involved.

Will Rohit Sharma go to Perth with Team India?

After being gifted with a son, Rohit Sharma may now go to Perth to join Team India before to the commencement of the first Test match. To spend time with his wife, the captain of India chose not to go with Team India.

Rohit is still eligible to play in the first Test match and was not excluded from the Perth match by India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir. If Rohit makes it to Perth in time, he will start the innings alongside Yashasvi. The dates of the first Test match are set for November 22–26. If Rohit is unavailable, India will be led by Jasprit Bumrah.
