IND vs NZ: Great setback for the indian team..!?

Ahead of the 1st Test match against new zealand, the indian team has suffered a major setback. Shubman Gill sustained a neck injury. The first Test of the three-Test series against new zealand begins today at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. india started training for this 2 days ago. india won the recently concluded 2-match Test series against bangladesh by 2-0. With this win, new zealand take on the series. Axar patel has been included in this team in place of yash Dayal. In this case, information has come out that the indian team's young batsman Shubman Gill may withdraw from the first Test match. Gill is said to be out due to neck and shoulder pain.

On october 14, Gill informed the team management that he felt pain while training. He did not engage in training after that. Due to this, playing in the first Test is doubtful. If the match starts this morning, the full details of Gill's injury will be known. But the first day's play was called off without a toss due to rain. And yesterday's practice was also canceled due to rain. dhruv Jural and sarfaraz khan are likely to replace him if Shubman Gill's injury does not recover.
Rishabh pant and KL Rahul, who did not play in the england series, returned to the team and dhruv Jural and sarfaraz khan did not get a chance. Sarbaraz Khan scored a double-century for mumbai in the recent Irani Cup final. So if Gill doesn't play in the first Test, sarfaraz khan will get a chance. Gill, who has struggled to score runs in recent series, scored an unbeaten 119 in the second innings against bangladesh in Chennai. He was dismissed for 39 runs in the 2nd Test. The additional players in the indian team include fast bowler mayank Yadav, all-rounder Nitish Reddy, and fast bowler Harshit Rana. rohit sharma told a press conference that the young players have been included in the squad to monitor how they perform as the tour of australia begins next month.
