India has been in a superb mood after qualifying for the Super 4 stage of the ongoing Asia Cup 2025, having already gained two victories in as many clashes of the tournament at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium against the United Arab Emirates and Pakistan. In both games, they were clinical in all three formats.
However, they will need to fly to the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi for their last group-stage clash against Oman, for which the conditions will be a tad different. The boundaries dimension will be a little new as Indian players, including captain Suryakumar Yadav and vice-captain Abhishek Sharma, turned up for practice at the ICC academy.

The other Indian players, especially those who didn’t feature in the first two clashes of the event, including Rinku Singh and Harshit Rana, were also present on the ground for the practice. Gill was mostly practicing against the short balls in the nets, which could be his early preparation for the Super 4 stage of the competition.
