India's captain Shubman Gill has resumed batting practice after suffering a right ring finger injury, providing a significant boost for the team ahead of their two-match Test series against Sri Lanka. The 26-year-old had missed the recent warm-up match due to the injury, which was sustained while batting during a practice session on Thursday.
Initially, Gill was ruled out of the opening Test, with senior wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul taking over in his absence. However, Gill's return to batting on Sunday, where he trained without any visible discomfort, has eased concerns about his availability for the series opener, scheduled for August 15 in Galle. Gill participated in an extended batting session, facing both seamers and spinners, and appeared comfortable throughout.
With India currently fifth in the World Test Championship points table, a strong result against sixth-placed Sri Lanka would bolster their chances of reaching the final.
