Gill had missed out on India\u2019s 295-run win in Perth due to a left thumb injury sustained in the match at the WACA Ground. \"He is batting right now and our physio will evaluate him and I will know his status after that. But from what I have seen, he is looking comfortable batting and he looks like he can bat (in a match). He is batting in the indoor nets and we will know if he can play the practice match or not,\" said Nayar to reporters on the sidelines of India\u2019s practice session.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Asked on the selection headaches India will face, as Gill shows signs of recovery and captain Rohit Sharma is back after paternity leave, Nayar remarked, \u201cIt is a sweet headache. It\u2019s always good to be in a position where you get two top players coming back into your setup. It builds a lot of confidence. It is good to have them (Rohit and Gill) back. The team is full of heart.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He also said Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja were able to understand why they weren\u2019t in the playing eleven at Perth. \u201cWhen you have seniors like Jaddu and Ash, who understand what the team is trying to do, it becomes very easy because of the team-first policy. The culture of this team is that everyone wants \u2018Team India\u2019 to win.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Quizzed about adapting to playing Test cricket with pink-ball, which India last did in March 2022, Nayar talked about how the Indian team is preparing for it. \u201cIt was raining, but the good thing is that everyone was keen to play. Even in the rain, everyone batted. Whether it's a pink ball or a red ball, the difference is really in the mind.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
