Gill Reveals He Was Upset After Sitting Out On Perth Test  

Shubman Gill was a part of the 2020-21 tour in Australia and he was a part of the Brisbane Test but could not play in Perth. Gill also revealed that he was upset about not being able to play in the Optus Stadium as it is one of the venues where he hasn't played yet. But he was happy that India secured a massive win in the Perth Test.

“When I got to know about my injury, for the first couple of days, I was quite low and disappointed. Perth was the only venue where I didn’t play when we came the last time and I was looking forward to playing there at such an iconic venue. The way we played that game, at the end of the day, I was very happy,” Gill added.

Shubman Gill faced some throwdowns from Assistant India coach Ryan Ten Doeschate and looked good while facing the deliveries. He still has time to recover in time for the Adelaide Test, and it is yet to be seen whether he will be a part of the Playing XI for the Day-Night Test.
