A pleasant injury update has filtered in regarding T Natarajan and Shubman Gill with both set to be fit in time for IPL 2021 in UAE come September
The teams are already preparing for the second phase of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 in the United Arab Emirates, which begins in precisely one month. Some of the teams have already arrived in the Middle East with their rosters in hand. Meanwhile, a few franchises have breathed a sigh of relief as their first-choice players recover well from their injuries.
Shubman Gill and T Natarajan both are at the NCA under rehabilitation as they are recovering from their injuries. Both of them are key players of their franchises and their participation is being questioned. But here we shall clear all your doubts.
Shubman Gill Injury Update
During the World Test Championship final versus New Zealand in Southampton, Gill suffered a shin injury. As a result, he has been ruled out of India’s five-match Test series against England. The 21-year-old stayed at home in July after arriving in India to mend his injuries before beginning training at the NCA at the beginning of this month.
T Natarajan Injury Update
Natarajan has enjoyed a strong start to his professional career. After becoming a member of the squad as a ‘net bowler,’ he was allowed to play for the team. Despite the fact that making an international debut in Australia appears to be a tough task, Natarajan performed admirably. He had already demonstrated his ability to be a death-bowler in the IPL, and his reputation as a yorker king was cemented on the tour to Australia.
Sadly, Natarajan was dealt a major blow by the seemingly never-ending problem with Indian pacers. During the closing stages of the tour, he injured his knee. As the ailment progressed, he was declared out of the IPL 2021 season.
Both Said To Recover Ahead Of IPL 2021 Resumption
Luckily both of the players are getting fit at the NCA training under the guidance of legend Rahul Dravid. Both the players have shown signs of improvement. And both of them are likely to play in the second phase of the tournament. Natarajan shall fly to UAE at the end of this month. Shubman has been in rehab for two will be released before the IPL but the dates are still not declared
