1st Test: Shubman Gill Admitted To Hospital For Neck Spasm, Day Three Availability Unknown
Pallekele International Cricket Stadium: India captain Shubman Gill has been admitted to a hospital in Kolkata after a freak neck spasm had forced him to retire hurt on four during the first day of the first Test against South Africa at Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Saturday.
Sources familiar with the matter have told IANS that Gill has been admitted to a private hospital, which has been the designated medical partner for the ongoing game after leaving the Eden Gardens with a neck brace on. It is understood that Gill expected to spend the entire night there and be under observation, with further medical tests to be done.
The incident happened in the first session, when on the fifth ball of the 35th over, Gill played a nice sweep off South African off-spinner Simon Harmer over backward square for four. While the shot’s execution impressed the onlookers, Gill immediately clutched his neck in visible discomfort as he stood upright.
