Gill turns up the volume at Eden Park; Kohli opts for gym, Rohit stays indoors

Shubman Gill dominated India’s pre-series training session at Eden Park, Auckland, with an intensive three-hour workout that included batting drills and fielding practice with spin-bowling coach Sairaj Bahutule. The young opener, known for his relentless preparation, faced a mix of local spinners and fast bowlers alongside KL Rahul, the only other designated batter present.

Fans along the boundary repeatedly called out to Gill, seeking autographs and selfies, while Rahul also engaged with supporters before leaving early. Gill later completed catching drills from various positions, wrapping up his session with a neck massage before heading back to the hotel.

Meanwhile, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma skipped the nets, with the squad en route from Hamilton for a single team training session ahead of the five-match ODI series starting November 4.
