The Indian government has started the second phase of the vaccination drive by allowing 18 to 44 years old to get their first dose of vaccine. The registrations began on 28 April.
The Indian players are now getting vaccinated ahead of the forthcoming tour of the UK, where they will, first, feature in the final of the World Test Championship against New Zealand. England and India, then, will play a mouthwatering five-match Test series starting from August.

The team will leave for the UK in the first week of June. If players won’t be able to take their second dose of vaccine prior to that, the board is planning to take the doses with them or they can ask the UK government to provide vaccines to the Indian continent.

Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, Dinesh Karthik and several other players have also taken their first dose of vaccine.
Shubhman Gill made his Test debut in last year’s Boxing-day in Australia. He instantly made an impact and forced everyone to be in his awe. He batted well on the Australian tour and looked like a mature player. His most significant contribution came in the Brisbane Test, where he scored his career-best 91 runs in the fourth innings when the team was chasing 328 to win the series.
