Shubman Gill Injury: Shubman Gill Injured Before Sri Lanka Test Series, Team India's Tension Increased

Shubman Gill Thumb Injury Update: Under the captaincy of Shubman Gill, India are set to play a two-match Test series on the tour of Sri Lanka, starting August 15. Earlier, the Men in Blue will take part in a three-day match against Sri Lanka XI from August 7. But before the series and warm-up matches, the injury of Indian captain Shubhaman Gill has increased the tension. Gill reportedly injured his right thumb while Team India was practicing in Colombo><

Gill's injury was a bit serious, forcing him to quit batting and go to the medical team. But the relief was that Gill returned to the nets to bat again after the treatment. The injury is not said to be more serious. However, it is not yet clear whether he will miss the first Test or warm-up match due to injury

According to reports, Gill suffered the injury after being hit by a ball in his hand during fielding practice after suffering a thumb injury. Even after this, Gill reached out to the medical team. It is not clear whether Gill returned to fielding after the injury

If Gill can't play, who will captain?

It is currently not officially clear whether Gill will miss any match of the series. But the question will definitely arise that if Gill can't play, who will replace him as captain? So let me tell you that wicketkeeper KL Rahul has been made vice-captain. Therefore, Rahul will take charge of the team in Gill's absence
