Team India's 1st Session Starts at 6 PM

As per a report by RevSportz, Team India's first training session starts at 6 PM. It would be interesting to see what the focus is on as for some players, it will be a change of format as well. 

Gautam Gambhir, Suryakumar and the majority of the players have reached Dubai and would all be there for the session. As per reports, Shubman Gill - the vice-captain of the side - is yet to reach Dubai. He is expected to reach there shortly. It would be interesting to see the playing XI India opt for. As per reports, there is confusion over Sanju Samson's batting order now that Gill is a part of the T20 side. Reports claim Gill and Abhishek Sharma will open and Samson plays at No. 3.
