Shubman Gill To Head To Mumbai For Further Assessment Of Neck Injury, Says BCCI
Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport: After being ruled out of the second Test against South Africa in Guwahati, Shubman Gill will now head to Mumbai for further assessment of his neck injury, said the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Friday.
In Gill’s absence, wicketkeeper‑batter Rishabh Pant has been named as India’s captain for the second Test, which is a must-win for the hosts after losing the first Test in Kolkata by 30 runs. Gill had flown with the Indian team to Guwahati on November 19, but didn’t take part in the practice sessions due to a neck injury, which also needed hospitalisation in Kolkata.
"Team India captain Shubman Gill, who suffered a neck injury during the first Test against South Africa, has been ruled out of the second Test in Guwahati. Gill suffered a neck injury on Day 2 of the Kolkata Test and was taken to the hospital for examination after the end of day's play.”
