India's vice captain, Shubman Gill, reportedly suffered an injury while training ahead of the Asia Cup 2025 clash against Pakistan. 

Gill opened the batting for the defending champions in their opener against the hosts, UAE, during which he looked to be in great form. 

Needless to say, he is an important player for the team, especially for an encounter like IND vs PAK, which is expected to test the team on a greater level than their previous opponents.

According to a report by The Times Of India, Shubman Gill was hit on the hands in training, following which he was seen in "visible discomfort", and that the team's physio rushed in to check on the player.

It is then mentioned that India coach and skipper, Gautam Gambhir and Suryakumar Yadav, were seen having a chat with Gill.

Having said that, the report also states that the Indian Vice Captain eventually returned to the nets and continued his practice.

While this certainly appears to be an encouraging sign before the India vs Pakistan, a match that holds a lot of importance for the Asia Cup 2025 Group A standings, the actual extent of this reported injury is not known.

No official statements have been made so far by the Indian team, the player, or the BCCI on the incident.
