Shubman Gill Injury Opens Door For This Ignored Star. Report Makes Surprising Claim
With less than a week remaining for the start of the 1st Test against Australia, concerns surrounding India's batting line-up in Perth continue to grow. With India captain Rohit Sharma's unlikely to feature in the series opener at the Optus Stadium, Shubman Gill, one of the contenders to replace him at the top, has reportedly suffered a fracture on his left thumb, putting his participation for the game begining next Friday also in serious doubt. Rohit became a father on Friday, with his wife Ritika Sajdeh giving birth to their second child, a baby boy. With the Indian team already short of convincing options at the order, Gill's injury couldn't have come at a worse time.
