Shubman Gill has joined the Indian cricket team in Auckland to prepare for the upcoming five-match ODI series against New Zealand, starting November 4. Gill, who is the ODI and Test captain, was seen wearing a fitness-tracking device called 'Temple' during a training session, which monitors cerebral blood flow and cognitive load. The device, developed by a team linked to Zomato co-founder Deepinder Goyal, has also been used by badminton player PV Sindhu. Gill participated in net sessions alongside KL Rahul and Ishan Kishan, and held discussions with batting coach Sitanshu Kotak and head coach Gautam Gambhir.
Senior players Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are set to return for the ODI series, while Gill will also lead India in a two-match Test series beginning November 19. Gill, who scored 754 runs in India's Test series in England earlier in the year, is personally funding four to five net bowlers for his preparation. The India team is aiming to carry forward its winning momentum from the T20I series, where it holds a 3-0 lead.
