“Shubman Gill sustained a left thumb injury during Day 2 of match simulation at The WACA. He was not considered for selection for the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The BCCI Medical Team is monitoring his progress on a daily basis,” BCCI posted on X.
This match will be of massive importance for Devdutt as he had made his debut earlier this year in the series against England, and has played only one inning. He would be eager to make use of this opportunity and contribute with some runs. He likes to go at the top-order, and hence was given the third spot in the batting lineup.
