TimesofIndia.com in Dubai: <\/span>On what was supposed to be a rest day for the Indian cricket team, it is reliably learnt that vice-captain Shubman Gill<\/a> had an \u201cinformal training session\u201d at the ICC Academy in Dubai on Thursday.
Throwdown specialists, accompanied by some members of the support staff, were with Gill at the global cricket body\u2019s training facility. They returned to the team hotel in their kits with the necessary gear in the evening hours.
It can\u2019t be confirmed at this stage if there were other players too, but it wasn\u2019t a big contingent as most of the players are either in their respective hotel rooms on the rest day or out and about in the city.

\u201cShubman Gill trained with members of the support staff for an informal session. Since it wasn\u2019t an official training day, it looks like a personal session. But it wasn\u2019t a marathon one and took place in the afternoon hours,\u201d says a well placed source.
India had a session under lights on Wednesday, and all players — except Shubman Gill — were in attendance. <\/p>\n

The Indian vice-captain made up for the missed session and trained today and will also be joining the team\u2019s session on Friday, their last before the group stage game against New Zealand on March 2.
New Zealand are scheduled to train in the afternoon while India will continue to train under lights. All eyes will be on Rohit Sharma as the Indian captain didn\u2019t do a lot of physical activity on Wednesday and only did some light jogging under the watchful eyes of S&C coach Soham Desai.
Rohit did some damage to his hamstring in the game against Pakistan, and his movements on Friday will surely give an indication on his participation for the New Zealand clash.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
