The Story in Brief
Shubman Gill has dropped a strong hint about the playing XI for the first Test against Sri Lanka, with rookie Auqib Nabi out of contention. The captain's choice is between 6-foot-5-inch tall Brar and Prasidh, who has played seven Tests and taken 25 wickets. Gill's indication suggests the taller bowler may get the nod, leaving the less experienced option on the sidelines. The Test series begins soon, with India expected to field a balanced attack.
The Indian Opinion
The chatter around the XI tends to magnify every captain's hint into a drama. Here, the choice is between two tall seamers, Brar or Prasidh, for conditions that may decide the match. The noise around the 'rookie snubbed' distracts from the actual question: will the pitch take spin or bounce? Watch the first session's bowling changes to learn the real answer.
