India received an early setback ahead of their high-pressure Asia Cup match against Pakistan when opener Shubman Gill picked up an injury during practice in Dubai. According to reports, Gill was struck on the hand while training and was seen in clear pain.
The young opener immediately left the ground with the medical team for treatment. Captain Suryakumar Yadav and head coach Gautam Gambhir were spotted speaking with him, while fellow opener Abhishek Sharma also checked in on his condition.
The situation has created concern in the Indian camp, as Gill has been a key performer at the top of the order.
India will take on Pakistan tomorrow at 7:30 PM Pakistan Standard Time in what is expected to be one of the most exciting clashes of the tournament. Both teams are coming into the contest with strong starts. India secured a confident win against the UAE in their opening match, while Pakistan overcame Oman to claim their first victory.
The match holds huge importance for both sides as a win here will boost their chances of advancing to the next stage. Fans are eagerly waiting to see how the teams perform, especially with the added tension of Gill’s possible absence.
For now, the Indian side will be hoping that the injury is not serious and that Gill recovers quickly. His presence at the top could prove vital in facing Pakistan’s strong bowling attack. The official update on his fitness is still awaited.
