sports desk : In the first match of the five-match Test series being played between India and Australia, the Indian team defeated Australia by 295 runs. With this win, India has achieved its biggest win in terms of runs in Australia. Before this test, India's star player Shubman Gill got injured. He was ruled out of the first Test due to a thumb injury.

Shubman Gill, returning from injury, has started practicing before the second Test. After getting fit, Shubman Gill practiced in the nets with the Indian team on Friday. Gill's absence was not felt in the first Test as India won by 295 runs. However, considering his excellent form on the last tour, the team needs him.

Shubman Gill hits the nets for the first time since his thumb injury that forced him to miss the Perth Test.

Shubman Gill was seen batting with Indian captain Rohit Sharma in the nets. Everyone knows that Rohit also could not play in the first match of the series to spend some time with his family. Both batted together for some time. The top-order batsmen faced the balls of Yash Dayal and Akash Deep in the nets.

India has to play a practice match against Australian Prime Minister's XI from tomorrow. In the absence of Gill, Devdutt Padikkal, who came at number three, could not make an impact. However, Gill may be in the middle order instead of the top order as KL Rahul had done well opening the innings in the absence of Rohit Sharma. Rohit will now open the innings with Yashasvi Jaiswal, due to which Rahul can come in at number three and Gill at number five.

Gill said in the video released by BCCI, “To be honest, I was just trying to know how the injury is working, if there is any kind of pain or not, but it was me and Kamlesh bhai (Kamlesh Jain, Physio) was much better than expected. I am very pleased with it.”
