IND vs WI Test series: Shubman Gill opts for Long batting session! Jasprit Bumrah, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav train hard as well

Shubman Gill had his first assignment as India’s Test captain, and was the most successful batter in the tour of England earlier this year- with 754 runs to his name. However, making a quick ‘mentally challenging‘ turn from the fast-paced T20 cricket to patience-demanding Test format is going to be a massive challenge.

In the batters for this Two-match Test series against West Indies, Shubman Gill is the only one with no recent experience in the red-ball format with the other players having their fair share of opportunities.

Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav had a long bowling session on one of the adjacent pitches next to the main green-top track where India and West Indies will play the first Test starting here on Thursday, while Axar bowled in the nets to the India batters.
