With Shubman Gill failing to take advantage of his opportunity in place of KL Rahul, Dravid and batting coach Vikram Rathour had a long session with the youngster. Similarly, Shreyas Iyer who is yet to score big also had a lengthy session along with KS Bharat, who has not impressed with the bat yet.

Among others, Ravichandran Ashwin got a sweeping class from Rathour and Dravid while Kuldeep Yadav emerged as a surprising candidate. The leg-spinner had a full-fledged session with both bat and the ball. Team India will leave for Ahmedabad on Monday and resume practice on Tuesday.
But it was India’s pacers who got the day off. Mohammad Shami, Mohammed Siraj, Umesh Yadav and Jaydev Unadkat all had a day off in Indore.
What to expect from Ahmedabad Test?
- Mohammad Shami, who was rested for 3rd Test will return.
- It is likely that Mohammed Siraj will be rested with the ODI series coming up immediately before IPL.
- In batting department, no changes are expected. Shubman Gill will continue to keep KL Rahul on the bench barring any late injury.
- Axar Patel so far has only bowled 39 overs, one-third of the two lead spinners.
- But considering he is averaging 92.50 with the bat and has been India’s rock in the lower order, he will keep his place.
- KS Bharat despite his failures will get the backing, all thanks to his keeping skills.
