Injury Time for India in Sri Lanka The warm up game between India and Sri Lanka XI began yesterday, but all eyes were on Shubman Gill's finger injury, which forced him to sit out the first day's play as a precautionary measure.
KL Rahul took over the reins in his absence. This timing is unfortunate for India, who are gearing up for a two Test series against Sri Lanka with only this warm up game before the opening Test.
Every session counts in preparation, and Indian team head coach Gautam Gambhir has stressed the importance of making the most of this period, given the uncertainty surrounding the weather.
