Gill, Nayar’s friendly banter takes a backseat as T Dilip steals the show

Heavy rains in Canberra halted the first day’s play between India and Prime Minister’s XI, with Shubman Gill and assistant coach Abhishek Nayar involved in a stump-hitting challenge, led by fielding coach T Dilip. The competitive drill ended with Dilip successfully hitting the stump. The match, now reduced to a 50-over game, resumes Sunday.
