India’s cricket captain Shubman Gill is seen testing a forehead-worn fitness-tracking device called “Temple” while preparing in Auckland for upcoming ODI commitments against New Zealand. Multiple outlets report that Gill wears the device across the forehead above the eyes during training and net sessions, alongside other India players.
The wearable is linked to Deepinder Goyal, the founder of Zomato, and has drawn attention for its non-traditional form factor compared with wrist-based trackers. Reports describe Temple as being designed to monitor physiological and neurological responses under physical and mental workload, with coverage suggesting it may help capture data relevant to cognitive load and performance.
Different outlets lead with either the novelty of Gill wearing Temple (including in India-based training) or place the device within the broader ODI preparation context in Auckland. One outlet also includes a more detailed description of what the device is reported to do, while others keep the focus on the on-field training visuals and the team environment.
