Shubman Gill put an end to speculation about his health by attending a practice session at the ICC Academy. Despite skipping the previous night’s nets, Gill showed up for a solo practice session, accompanied by two throwdown specialists and assistant coach Abhishen Nayar. The Indian team had a full-fledged practice session the night before, during which Gill was absent along with Rohit Sharma. There were concerns about Rohit’s hamstring injury, and it was speculated that he may sit out the next match to avoid aggravating the injury before the semifinals. Both India and New Zealand have qualified for the semifinals of the Champions Trophy, with their upcoming match determining the final four lineup. The Indian team will have nets on Friday, while New Zealand will practice on both Friday and Saturday. KL Rahul will address the media on Friday evening. The match between India and New Zealand will have no impact on their semifinal chances but will be crucial for the final four lineup.
