Indian top-order batter Shubman Gill was recently seen pushing his limits in the gym as he prepares for the upcoming Test series against Bangladesh, starting on September 19, 2024. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced a 16-member squad for the first Test, and Gill is prominently featured, underscoring his importance to the team.

Following a challenging loss as captain of India A in the Duleep Trophy, Gill appears to be channelling his frustration into a rigorous fitness regime. His workout sessions, guided by personal trainers, focused intensely on his core, shoulders, and legs. Despite the high-intensity nature of the workouts, Gill approached them with the same poise and focus that he exhibits on the field.
