India’s captain Shubman Gill is reportedly unlikely to bat in the ongoing three-day warm-up match against the Sri Lanka XI in Colombo, according to NDTV.
The reports frame this as a “big call” taken by the team management ahead of the first Test against Sri Lanka. They do not cite a confirmed injury or provide full details of the decision, but indicate that Gill’s participation in batting during the warm-up is in doubt. The two accounts from the same outlet largely echo each other, focusing on the expectation that he will not feature in the warm-up batting session while India continues its preparations for the Test series.
With only these reports provided, there is no differing information among the sources about the reason for the change, the number of innings involved, or whether other players’ roles are adjusted.
