Despite <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatvnews.com\/topic\/rohit-sharma\" rel=\"noopener\">Rohit Sharma<\/a> and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatvnews.com\/topic\/shubman-gill\" rel=\"noopener\">Shubman Gill<\/a> being unavailable for the series opener, the Indian team registered a mammoth 295-run win over the Aussies.  <!-- \/8323530\/ITv_Desktop_VDO_1X1 -->\n  <\/p>\n<p>While captain Rohit is now set to return, there is another boost for the Indian team. Star batter Shubman Gill, who was ruled out of the first Test due to a thumb injury, has returned to batting at the nets ahead of the Pink-ball Test and before India&#8217;s warm-up game against the Prime Ministers&#8217; XI.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Shubman batted on Friday, a day ahead of India&#8217;s Pink-ball practice match at Manuka Oval. He began by facing throwdowns from close range before capping off his practice with full-tilt bowling from pacers Akash Deep and Yash Dayal.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>India assistant coach Abhishek Nayar said Gill looked comfortable while batting in the nets. &#8220;He is batting right now and our physio will evaluate him and I will know his status after that,&#8221; Abhishek said on Gill.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But from what I have seen, he is looking comfortable batting and he looks like he can bat [in a match]. He is batting in the indoor nets and we will know if he can play the practice match or not,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>Gill got injured during India&#8217;s preparations ahead of the first Test. He picked up a blow to his left thumb while taking a catch at slips.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>India trained with a pink ball in rainy conditions on green pitches in the nets. The preparation suits them for what could be on offer in Adelaide for the Pink-ball game. The pink-ball Tests are usually dominated by pacers in Australia. Nayar is well aware of the threats the pink-ball day-night Tests possess. &#8220;Whether it&#8217;s a pink ball or a red ball, the difference is really in the mind,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Of course, there is a bit of difference between the two &#8211; the colour is different, there is more lacquer &#8211; and we are lucky that we have got six-eight days to get ready. When we were in Perth, too, we were training with the pink ball. Rohit [Sharma] was training [with the pink ball] too. So we have started our preparations. We will continue to focus on our game, and do what we need to do,&#8221; Nayar added.<\/p>\n<p>The Aussies have a great record in those games. They have played 12 Pink-ball Tests and have lost only one &#8211; a day-night Gabba Test against West Indies earlier in January.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>They have played seven day-night Test matches at Adelaide and have never been defeated. India will have their task cut out for them, as they had when they ended Australia&#8217;s winning streak of four Tests at the Optus Stadium in Perth.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async>\nfunction loadFacebookScript(){\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\nn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,\ndocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '529056027274737');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n}\nwindow.addEventListener('load', (event) => {\n\tsetTimeout(function(){\n        loadFacebookScript();\n\t}, 5000);\n});\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatvnews.com\/sports\/cricket\/boost-for-india-shubman-gill-returns-to-nets-assistant-coach-drops-update-ahead-of-pink-ball-test-2024-11-29-964039\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image Source : GETTY Shubman Gill with bowling coach Morne Morkel.
