An animated exchange between former skipper Virat Kohli and current captain Shubman Gill stole the spotlight during India’s practice session in Thiruvananthapuram ahead of the first ODI against West Indies. The incident occurred during a competitive fielding drill where the squad was split into two teams. The two star batters engaged in a tense debate over a drill moment, drawing significant attention from onlookers before cooler heads prevailed and both were seen sharing laughs shortly after.
The intense session turned even more dramatic later in the afternoon when Shubman Gill suffered a injury scare in the nets, halting practice after being struck on the elbow. Following the fielding incident, India’s net session saw further drama when captain Shubman Gill misjudged an unexpectedly swinging delivery from pacer Mohammed Siraj. The ball struck Gill forcefully on his right elbow, leaving the opening batter in visible discomfort.
Team physios immediately attended to Gill, applying ice and a protective bandage before he walked off the field to end his session early. Team management is evaluating the severity of the blow, with an official update on his availability for Sunday’s series opener expected during Saturday’s pre-match press conference.
