Shubman Gill and T Natarajan likely for the IPL 2021 UAE leg

In the latest turn of events, an update regarding two Indian players came up. It was reported that Shubman Gill and T Natarajan are likely to take part in the Indian T20 league.

“He is not feeling pain. Gradually his workload will be increased – from slow jogging to running twice-thrice a week. We’re confident he will be fine by the IPL which is anyway a month away,” said a close source while addressing on Gill’s injury.

“We’ve got the go-ahead and he will be travelling with us to Dubai on August 31,” read the statement about Natarajan.

While Mumbai will be keen on defending their IPL trophy for the second time, Chennai will look forward to getting their hands on their fourth title this time.
