New Delhi. Indian cricket team's top order batsman Shubman Gill has been ruled out of the match against Prime Minister's XI. Team India is going to play a two-day match against Australia before the Pink Ball Test to be played in Adelaide. Shubman Gill was out of the first Test played in Perth due to a thumb injury. India won the match by 295 runs and took a 1-0 lead in the series.

The Indian team will get a chance to play a practice match just before the Pink Ball Test against Australia starting on December 6. From November 30, Team India will play a two-day pink-ball warm-up match against Prime Minister XI at Manuka Oval Canberra. According to a report by Sports Tak, top-order batsman Shubman Gill has been ruled out of this match. He had injured his thumb during the match simulation before the start of the series.

The team management hopes that Shubman Gill will be fit for the pink-ball test starting on December 6 at Adelaide Oval. A decision on his playing will be taken before the match. If Gill does not recover in time, KL Rahul, who opened in Perth, can bat at number 3. Rahul is unlikely to open with Yashasvi Jaiswal as captain Rohit Sharma has joined the team. He has reached Australia late due to the birth of his second child.
