During this period, Gill has scored 11 centuries and 8 half-centuries. Gill's high score in Test cricket is 269 runs, which he made in the Edgbaston Test during the England tour last year.

Shubman Gill was injured before the warm-up match

Before the start of the Test series on Sri Lanka tour, the Indian team played a three-day warm-up match against Sri Lanka XI. Before this practice match, Shubman Gill had injured his finger, due to which Gill did not come to bat in the first innings of this match.
