Former batter Aakash Chopra revealed that head coach Gautam Gambhir believes the Indian Premier League IPL should be the first thing players consider for workload management. Chopra said that Gambhir told him that Shubman Gill should be available and committed while playing for the national team.
Gill suffered a neck injury during the first Test against South Africa at Eden Gardens. The right-handed batter is reportedly ruled out of the upcoming match in Guwahati, starting on Saturday, November 22.
