Devdutt Padikkal
India vs Australia Test Series: The first Border-Gavaskar Trophy match between India and Australia will be played on November 22. But even before this, the Indian players played an intra-team match, in which many prominent Indian players were injured. This increased the team’s management problems. Shubman Gill suffered a fracture in his thumb, which means he will not be able to play the first BGT test match. KL Rahul suffered an elbow injury while playing an intra-team match. Rohit Sharma, on the other hand, stayed in India to attend the birth of his second child. His wife has given birth to a son. He is now likely to go to Australia soon, but no date has been revealed yet.
Devdutt Padikkal will stay only in Australia
According to the Cricbuzz report, under the captaincy of Ruturaj Gaikwad, the India-A team played a 2-Test series against Australia-A. The players playing for India A are all set to return home in the next 24 hours. But due to injuries to star players, the team management decided to keep Devdutt Padikkal, who plays for India A, in Australia as a precautionary measure. He will be the substitute for the senior team. If any other player is injured now, they can also be included in the senior team.
