Ahead of the second Test match in Adelaide, Tema India received a major boost as star batter Shubman Gill started practising again on Friday, November 29. Prior to the tour match against the Prime Minister's XI, Gill, who had been rested due to a thumb fracture, was seen in the nets in Canberra. Adelaide will host India's second Test match against Australia. In the five-match series, the side will play Australia in a Pink Ball Test match, which is often a strong strength for Australia. Shubman was observed leaving the ball well in the nets. He had not been playing because of his recuperation procedure.

Indian Assistant Coach Abhishek Nayar gave an update on Shubman Gill's injury and availability for the upcoming matches. He said that he would be under assessment and the physio would give the final update.
"He is still batting, physio will do the evaluation and tell after that. As of now, I don't know what is his status but he appeared quite comfortable while batting. It seems like he can bat. He is batting indoors for now. And after that, there will be an assessment of whether tomorrow they will play the match or not," said Abhishek Sharma in the press conference.
On the second day of the intra-squad match simulation before the Perth Test, Gill sustained an injury while fielding. He left the field right away for more scans after being observed in significant agony. At the time, India Today had learned that Gill had been ruled out of the first game due to a fractured left thumb.
The visitors must rearrange their whole lineup if the batter does make a comeback to the starting lineup. Rohit Sharma, the captain of India, is expected to make a comeback to the starting lineup, replacing KL Rahul. Rahul may have to move down the order, perhaps to No. 5 or No. 6, as Shubman Gill is anticipated to rejoin the lineup. In addition to Gill, Rohit Sharma, the captain of India, was also seen in the nets. Halfway through the Test match in Perth, the captain of India had begun his practice. On Friday, he was spotted in good form
