New Delhi: India’s top-order batter Shubman Gill was recently spotted practicing hard in the gym ahead of the Test series against Bangladesh. India host Bangladesh for a two-match Test series starting on September 19 followed by a three-game T20I series. The Board of Control for Cricket (BCCI) announced a strong 16-member squad for the series opener and Gill is a part of the squad.
After suffering a loss as skipper against India A in the first round of Duleep Trophy, Gill seemed to be engaged in a strenuous workout regime, which saw him working out on his shoulders and legs in the company of some personalised gym trainers. The young Indian batter was also seen performing a set of plyometric exercises inside the state-of-the-art gym.

The 25-year-old, who celebrated his birthday four days back, will be looking to make an impact in the series against Bangladesh followed by New Zealand to nourish his batting skills for the Border-Gavaskar series later in the year. He would like to make the most of it in the Bangladesh Tests so as to deliver for Team India in the important series against Kiwis and Aussies.
