As several other hitters succumbed to the moving ball, the opener was hit in the elbow and had to retire injured.
Virat Kohli dismissed concerns about his fitness but was one of several batters caught behind the wicket in an intra-squad match simulation at the WACA, while KL Rahul left the field after being hit on the elbow in an injury concern for India prior to the first Test.A week prior to the series opener at Optus Stadium, India intensified their preparations after spending three days in the WACA nets. They fielded an XI that included their elite players in the middle against a team primarily composed of their fringe and India A players.
Rahul opened with Yashasvi Jaiswal, maybe a sign that he is expected to open the batting in the event that captain Rohit Sharma is unable to play in the opening Test.
Before being hit by a rising delivery from fast Prasidh Krishna on his right elbow, Rahul seemed to be in fluid touch and managing short bowling well. He grimaced after the blow and trudged off the ground after getting help.
Through a simulation that lasted two and a half hours before lunch, Jaiswal began boldly with a defiant whack through the covers, but on the fifteenth, he nicked off to second slip in what would become a regular sight.
Kohli appeared in excellent form and made a few stunning strokes through the covers amid rumors that he had recently had scans. However, on 15, he gave seamer Mukesh Kumar a second slip before he was in the adjacent nets for about half an hour.
India's batsmen had prioritized short-pitched bowling on Thursday, with local club quicks displaying lightning-fast speed and some hitters participating in a practice in which a tennis ball was thrown at their heads from a close distance.
Compared to Sheffield Shield matches this season, the WACA surface has had significantly less bounce and carry thus far in this simulation. However, there was some movement off a length, and the Indian hitters didn't seem very good.

Early in his innings, Rishabh Pant, who had occasionally had trouble with the short ball during his net sessions earlier in the week, blazed a boundary through the off-side, but he appeared disturbed after taking a hit to the groin. Nitish Kumar Reddy, who was outstanding after later dismissing Dhruv Jurel in the slips, bowled him clean with a fast delivery.
Third During his two hours at the crease, Shubman Gill struggled to obtain the strike after starting slowly. He began to appear more at ease when on the 28th, he was fended off a brief delivery from a swift Navdeep Saini, who joyfully celebrated.

As the batting side reached the half at 106 for 5 after 28 overs, Washington Sundar and Tanush Kotian bowled in unison, providing the rare sight of spin from both ends at the WACA.
