BGT 2024-25: Shubman Gill's Left-thumb Injury Puts India’s Top-order In Doubt Ahead Of Perth Test
Shubman Gill: India’s preparations for the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series have been thrown into uncertainty with an injury to Shubman Gill. The 24-year-old opener sustained an injury to his left thumb during the second day of India’s intra-squad training match at the WACA here on Saturday.
While fielding in the slips, Gill took a blow to his thumb, leaving the field immediately and not returning for the remainder of the intra-squad match-simulation session.
Though the full extent of the injury is yet to be confirmed, IANS understands that Gill may have suffered an intra-articular fracture, a type of injury that typically requires two to three weeks for recovery. Given that the injury is to his driving hand, the timeline for his recovery might extend to three weeks, casting doubt on his participation in the first Test, which is scheduled to begin on November 22 at the Optus Stadium in Perth.
