Chances of Shubman Gill making his ODI debut on Wednesday against hosts New Zealand at Napier are bright. With India trying out all the possible combinations ahead of the World Cup, the talented batsman can find himself in the midst of things.
On the eve of the tour opener, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) shared a video of the 19-year-old sweating it out in his first net session with the senior team.

And the talented Punjab batsman has been making all the right noises. He was part of India A squad that toured New Zealand last month.
The top-order batsman has been in a sublime form and scored 790 runs for Punjab in the Ranji Trophy, averaging 98.75. He was also named the player of the tournament following India's win in the U-19 World Cup in New Zealand last year.
