IND vs AUS: Shubman Gill’s Recovery Sparks Selection Dilemma Ahead of Adelaide Test
Questions about Shubman Gill's availability for the second Test in the five-match series arise due to his injury. However, the absence of the usual support tape on his thumb has sparked optimism about his recovery, especially after the injury ruled him out of the Perth Test.
As the Indian cricketer team flew to Canberra on Wednesday morning from Perth, Shubman Gill was seen without any strapping on his injured left thumb. This has fueled hopes about his recovery, amid ongoing concerns over the thumb injury he sustained during practice at the WACA before the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25.
Fans are hopeful about Shubman Gill’s chances of playing in the Day-Night Test between Australia and India at the Adelaide Oval, starting on December 6. His recent appearance without thumb strapping has raised optimism about his recovery and potential inclusion in the much-anticipated match.
This suggests that Gill’s injury might not be as serious as first thought, raising hopes that he could return to action soon. He might even be ready to play in the upcoming matches of the ongoing Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, which could be a big boost for the Indian team.
It will be a tough decision for the Indian team management if Gill regains match fitness for the Adelaide Test. With captain Rohit Sharma also joining the squad, Gill’s availability could create a selection dilemma, as the team decides who to bench for the important Day-Night match.
