This comes after he suffered a neck issue during the first Test against South Africa, which is underway at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

Shubman Gill, who walked out to bat at four, faced just three balls before getting injured. After blocking the first two balls, he swept the ball for a four. However, immediately after that he felt pain in his neck and was taken off the field as he was unable to move his neck.

Shubman Gill didn’t return to bat as India got all out for 189 runs in their first innings, taking a lead of 30 runs. The Indian Test captain then didn’t return to the field as well on day two as Rishabh Pant took over the charge of the team in the second innings.
