Shubman Gill Faces Selection Decision Between Prasidh Krishna and Gurnoor Brar for Sri Lanka Test
India captain Shubman Gill indicated Prasidh Krishna is likely to share the new ball with Mohammed Siraj in the first Test against Sri Lanka, while acknowledging a tough choice between Krishna and rookie Gurnoor Brar. With Jasprit Bumrah sidelined due to a knee injury, this series offers an opportunity for other pacers to step up. India plans to field three left-arm spinners, and Devdutt Padikkal is expected to bat at No. 3 in Sai Sudharsan's absence. Gill emphasized patience with players' development and dismissed reports of communication issues within the team.
