shubman gill updates

<p>After chasing leather for 2 consecutive days in the India VS Australia 4<sup>th</sup> Test match, the Indian cricket team has finally shown some great intent with the bat. The Indian cricket team managed to put on a decent display with the bat on day 4. Shubman Gill was the star of this inning. He scored a marvelous 100 to put India in a comfortable position. Pujara and Rohit batted well. Virat Kohli looks confident. Shubman departed after scoring 128 as he was caught leg-before wicket by a good ball from Nathan Lyon. Here are in-depth updates about the same:?</p>



<h2>Shubman Gill Scores Magnificent 128:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/placeholders/2025/12/post-104243-800x450-india-vs-australia-4th-test-highlights-shubman-gil.jpg" alt="India VS Australia Shubman Gill" class="wp-image-65498" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Shubman Gill looked rock solid with his defense against the spinners. IMG SRC: BCCI/AFP. </figcaption></figure>



<p>Shubman Gill was looking solid on the evening of the second day itself. But his performance on day 2 affirmed the same. He looked very confident with his strokes. He played the off-spin of Nathan Lyon very well. He used the very old technique of footwork to deal with the spin. His innings of 128 comprised two good partnerships. Rohit Sharma scored a well-fought 35 while Cjeteshwar Pujara managed to score 35 runs to help Shubman to get to his 100. Shubman hit 12 fours and a 6 to amass the 128 runs. ?</p>



<h2>India VS Australia: Shubman Gill Dismissed by Nathan Lyon After Scoring 128 Runs:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>But it was Nathan Lyon who had the last laugh. He bowled a very precise delivery which turned just the perfect amount to trap Shubman Gill's leg-before wicket. Shubman was on the back foot and got stuck on the crease and hence found it difficult to tackle the ball. Ravindra Jadeja was the next man to walk out to bat. India lost its first wicket at 74 and it is the second wicket at 187. Nathan Lyon and Todd Murphy look like the best bowlers of the opposition. They bowled at an economy of 2.1 runs an over. ?The India VS Australia 4th Test match is taking an fun turn. </p>



<h2>India VS Australia 4th Test: Match Hangs in Balance:?</h2>

IMG SRC: Indian Express</figcaption></figure>



<p>The Australian cricket team had their nose ahead in the match till yesterday evening. But Shubman Gill?s innings have inspired the Indian batters. The Indian team is currently stationed at 250/3. The team is looking to scale down the mammoth total of almost 500 runs. They will be looking to reduce the first innings lead as much as possible. It now lies in the hands of Kohli and the other batters to do their job. ?</p>

<p dir="ltr"><span>Shubman Gill’s Test captaincy for India’s England tour, starting June 20, 2025, is almost confirmed. Ravichandran Ashwin suggested a surprising captain’s name, sparking a lot of debate on social media. </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>With Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli now retired, the BCCI is looking for a new leader. In this article, we have shared all the information related to this with you, so let’s start this article.</span></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span>Shubman Gill Test Captaincy Confirmed?</span></h2>
<p dir="ltr"><span>According to a report by Hindustan Times, Shubman Gill, who is 25 years old, is all set to replace Rohit Sharma as Test captain. He recently held an hour-long meeting with Gautam Gambhir in Delhi, where plans were finalised. </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Despite some influential people opposing him, Gill’s success in leading the Gujarat Titans, with multiple victories and 508 runs in IPL 2025, has impressed selectors. </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>The BCCI plans to announce Gill as captain along with the England squad. Gill has played 32 Test matches, scoring 1893 runs, making him a strong pick.</span></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span>Ashwin’s Surprising Suggestion</span></h2>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Ravichandran Ashwin created a twist, going viral on social media by picking Ravindra Jadeja for Test captaincy. Ashwin called Jadeja the most experienced player at 36, capable of leading for two more years after Rohit and Kohli’s retirements. </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>He believes Jadeja’s 73 Test matches and all-around skills can guide the young squad. Ashwin also suggested Jasprit Bumrah for captaincy, but ruled him out due to injury concerns.</span></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span>Gambhir’s Vision for Gill</span></h2>
<p dir="ltr"><span>The extended meeting Gautam Gambhir had with Shubman Gill in Delhi shows his hope, followed by a Mumbai visit on June 16. </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>As head coach, Gambhir wants a young leader for the 2025-27 World Test Championship cycle. He also met selector Ajit Agarkar to finalise the squad, sidelining Bumrah due to workload issues. </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Gambhir’s vision is to make Gill the captain, not Ravindra Jadeja or Rishabh Pant.</span></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span>Challenges for Gill’s Captaincy</span></h2>
<p dir="ltr"><span>If Shubman Gill’s Test captaincy is confirmed, he will face a tough start. Five Test matches will be played in England without Kohli and Rohit. Gill will unite a young squad, including Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant. </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Jadeja’s experience will definitely help, but Ashwin’s suggestion has sparked debate on social media. Fans praise Gill’s leadership, but his low overseas Test average raises doubts.</span></p>

<p>The announcement of the Indian ODI squad for the Australia tour has shocked fans. Rohit Sharma has been removed from the captaincy and Shubman Gill has been appointed. Rohit Sharma has been retained as a player. This decision is surprising. There have been some other changes to the team as well.</p>

<p>Team India won the Champions Trophy this year. No ODI matches have been played since then. The ODIs are scheduled for the Australia tour, and three players have been removed from the team for various reasons. The most prominent name is Mohammed Shami.</p>
<p>Mohammed Shami played in the Champions Trophy final. He has now been dropped. Prior to this, Shami was not included in the Test squad for the England tour. He is also not part of the Indian team for the current Test series against the West Indies.</p>
<h2><strong>Is Mohammed Shami's career over?</strong></h2>
<p>Furthermore, he was not included in the T20 squad for the recent Asia Cup. Now, he's out of all three formats. It will be very difficult for the 35-year-old Shami to make a comeback. In a way, it could be said that his career is nearing its end. He's not in the T20 World Cup plans. He's been out of Test cricket for two years, and now the same is likely to happen in ODIs. Shami was playing in the Duleep Trophy in domestic cricket, which means he wasn't lacking in fitness.</p>
<h2><strong>How has Mohammed Shami's career been?</strong></h2>
<p>Shami has had a stellar career. He has 229 scalps to his name in 64 Test matches and 206 wickets in 108 ODIs. He also has 27 wickets in 25 T20Is.</p>
<h2><strong>Why is Hardik Pandya out</strong></h2>
<p>Hardik Pandya is also out of the Indian team for the Champions Trophy and will not travel to Australia. Hardik Pandya suffered a serious quadriceps injury while playing against Sri Lanka in the Super Four match of the Asia Cup. He is out due to this injury.</p>
<h2><strong>KL Rahul will replace Rishabh Pant as wicketkeeper</strong></h2>
<p>Another name that is currently out is Rishabh Pant. He suffered an injury during the Test series in England and is unfit. Most importantly, KL Rahul will replace Rishabh Pant as wicketkeeper in Australia.</p>

India’s ODI squad for the Australia tour features major changes, surprising fans. Rohit Sharma has been replaced as captain by Shubman Gill but remains in the team. Mohammed Shami has been dropped and is now out of all formats, raising doubts about his international future despite a strong career. Hardik Pandya is sidelined with a quadriceps injury, while KL Rahul will replace the injured Rishabh Pant as wicketkeeper.

The announcement of India's ODI squad for the Australia tour has surprised fans with several major changes. Rohit Sharma has been removed as captain and replaced by Shubman Gill, though Rohit remains in the squad as a player. The most notable exclusion is Mohammed Shami, who played in the Champions Trophy final but has now been dropped from the ODI squad. His absence from the Test squad for the England tour, the current West Indies series, and the T20 squad for the Asia Cup suggests his international career may be nearing its end. At 35, with no place in any of the three formats and despite staying active in domestic cricket, a comeback appears unlikely. Shami has had an impressive career, taking 229 Test wickets, 206 in ODIs, and 27 in T20Is. Meanwhile, Hardik Pandya is also out due to a quadriceps injury sustained during the Asia Cup, and KL Rahul is set to replace the injured Rishabh Pant as the wicketkeeper for the Australia series.

India vs Australia: Mohammed Shami Dropped from ODI Squad, End of the Road for His International Career?

<p>Team India received an early scare on Day 2 of the IND vs SA 1st Test at Eden Gardens when captain Shubman Gill retired hurt after facing just three balls. Gill walked in to bat at No.4 right after Washington Sundar’s dismissal, but his stay at the crease was cut short due to a sudden neck strain.</p>
<p>Simon Harmer, bowling round the wicket, tested Gill straightaway. After defending his first two deliveries, Gill played a clean slog sweep for four. But as soon as he completed the shot, he appeared uncomfortable and grabbed the back of his neck. The physio rushed in, and after a brief assessment, Gill decided not to take any risk and walked off the field.</p>
<p>At that moment, India’s score was 79/2, and Rishabh Pant replaced him in the middle. This match is Gill’s first Test innings since recovering from his previous injury during the England tour, making the situation even more worrying for fans.</p>
<p>So far, the BCCI has not released an official update, but the injury does not appear to be serious. Reports suggest he is going for some quick scans, and if nothing serious, he should be back in some time. The signs suggest it may just be a minor sprain, and the hope is that Gill will be able to bat later in the day if required.</p>
<p>India went into lunch at 138/4, losing Washington Sundar, KL Rahul, and Pant in the session. While the batting effort has been steady, Gill’s fitness remains the biggest point of concern for Team India.</p>
<p>Fans will be eagerly awaiting the next update, but for now, the situation appears precautionary rather than alarming.</p>

Shubman Gill walked off, retired hurt after a sudden neck strain while batting on Day 2. The injury didn’t appear serious, and BCCI is yet to give an official update.

Shubman Gill retired hurt with a neck strain after hitting a four on Day 2. Injury seems minor; official update awaited.

Update! What Happened to Shubman Gill? Shubman Gill Injury Update For IND vs SA 1st Test

update-what-happened-to-shubman-gill-shubman-gill-injury-update-for-ind-vs-sa-1st-test

<p>Former captain of the Indian Cricket team Rohit Sharma was not handed over the captaincy in the 50-over series against Australia. Shubman Gill was made the regular One-Day International skipper in his place, but now the BCCI is preparing to make Rohit Sharma the captain of the ODI again. In fact, ODI and Test team captain Shubman Gill suffered a neck injury in the first Test match against South Africa, due to which he will not be able to play the second Test match against South Africa.</p>
<p>Not only this, there is doubt about Gill's participation in the three-match ODI series starting on November 30. In such a situation, who will captain the Indian team, this is the big question?</p>
<h2><strong>Who will be India's ODI captain?</strong></h2>
<p>If Shubman Gill is not well in the ODI series against South Africa, then who will be the captain in his place? Vice-captain Shreyas Iyer will also not play in the series due to a rib injury. In such a situation, the BCCI's thinking about captaincy seems to be changing again.</p>
<p>According to reports, the BCCI has once again asked Rohit Sharma to take over the ODI captaincy. The team wants an experienced player to take over the command of the series. However, it is not yet clear from Rohit Sharma's side whether he will captain or not.</p>
<h2><strong>Rohit Sharma's ODI captaincy record</strong></h2>
<p>Rohit Sharma's ODI captaincy records have been quite spectacular. He has played a total of 45 matches as captain, out of which he has won 33 matches for the team. In 9 matches, India had to face defeat under his captaincy and two matches were also inconclusive. His winning percentage is 75. These figures show that Rohit is one of the most successful Indian captains in ODI cricket.</p>
<h2><strong>KL Rahul is also an option</strong></h2>
<p>Former Indian cricketer Mohammad Kaif described KL Rahul as the strongest captain option for the ODI series against South Africa. KL Rahul has captained India several times in the past and has also been the vice-captain in ICC tournaments. In such a situation, if Rohit Sharma does not do the white-ball captaincy, then KL Rahul can be handed over the captaincy in his place.</p>

Rohit Sharma likely to return as India's ODI Captain | Image Credits - Business Standard

With Shubman Gill injured and doubtful for the ODI series against South Africa, the BCCI is considering bringing back Rohit Sharma as captain. Rohit, who has a strong ODI captaincy record, could replace Gill, who is recovering from a neck injury. Vice-captain Shreyas Iyer is also unavailable due to injury. If Rohit doesn’t take the role, KL Rahul, with prior captaincy experience, is another potential option.

With Shubman Gill sidelined due to a neck injury, the BCCI is reconsidering the captaincy for India’s upcoming ODI series against South Africa starting November 30. While Shubman Gill has been the regular captain for both ODI and Test formats, his injury has raised doubts about his participation in the series. Vice-captain Shreyas Iyer is also unavailable due to a rib injury, prompting the BCCI to consider Rohit Sharma as a potential replacement. Rohit, who has an impressive record as ODI captain with 33 wins in 45 matches, could reclaim the role, though it's unclear whether he will accept. Another option being considered is KL Rahul, who has captained India in the past and is seen as a strong candidate by former cricketer Mohammad Kaif.

<p>As India gear up for another high-intensity challenge against South Africa, one question has dominated every cricket conversation over the last few days. Is Shubman Gill finally fit and ready to return to the field? The answer, as of December 8, brings relief to Indian fans.</p>
<p>Gill has been out of action since the second day of the Eden Gardens Test, where neck spasms forced him off the field. What initially seemed like a minor setback soon turned into a frustrating waiting period, with Gill missing both Tests and all three ODIs of the South Africa tour. For a player who leads India in Tests and ODIs and carries the responsibility of future leadership, the absence felt heavier than just a fitness concern.</p>
<p><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202512/image_1200x_69367eaa93bf4.jpg" alt=""></p>
<p>The turning point came on December 3 at the BCCI Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru. Gill spent several days there under close medical supervision. More importantly, he did not just bat briefly. He batted for long periods, moved freely, and fielded without discomfort. The medical team wanted clarity on every aspect of his readiness, not just whether he could score runs, but whether he could move, dive, and throw without hesitation. By all indications, Gill answered every question convincingly.</p>
<p>Fast forward to December 8 morning in Bhubaneswar. Gill arrived late in the evening, visibly charged and mentally ready to return. Though he was not part of the ODI squad that played in Visakhapatnam, his presence with the T20I group was a statement in itself. The BCCI had earlier termed his selection for the T20I series as subject to fitness clearance. That clearance has now been granted.</p>
<p>India head coach Gautam Gambhir put an end to all speculation after the final ODI, confirming that Gill is fully fit, fine, and hungry to play. Those words carry weight, especially when they come from a coach who values intensity and commitment.</p>
<p>With the first T20I scheduled on December 9 at Barabati Stadium in Cuttack, Gill is very much in contention to feature. Even if he is eased back carefully, his return to the squad strengthens India’s top order and leadership core.</p>
