Will continue Rohit and Gill batted in side-by-side nets in the optional practice session on Tuesday while Rahul decided to stay in the hotel with most of the team members.

Rahul has averaged 33.4 in 47 Tests and has not been in form for quite some time, while Gill has been in excellent form during this period and has played many big innings in limited overs cricket. Rahul has failed to cross the 25-run mark in the last 10 Test innings. He was relieved of the responsibility of vice-captain after the second Test in Delhi. This led to discussions about his place in the playing XI for the remaining two matches of the series.

Rohit, however, did not say anything openly on this issue. He said in the press conference before the match, “I talked about it even after the last match. Players who are going through a difficult phase, given their ability, they will be given enough time to prove themselves. “He said,” Being a vice-captain or something doesn’t tell you anything. He was the vice-captain at that time. His removal as vice-captain doesn’t indicate anything.

Asked about Gill and Rahul’s preparations for this match, he said, “As far as Gill and Lokesh Rahul are concerned, they practice like this before any match.” Today was an optional training session for the whole group. The one who was supposed to come has come.” The captain said, “As far as the playing XI is concerned, I would like to reveal it at the time of the toss. I like it this way because there is a possibility of injury in the last minute. The Indian team is leading 2-0 in the four-match series. A win in this match will ensure the team a place in the World Test Championship.
