India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir has confirmed that Shubman Gill’s neck injury is currently being assessed, with the team physio expected to decide on his fitness later today. Gill missed the first Test against South Africa at Eden Gardens after suffering the injury while batting on the second day, which required him to be hospitalised for scans.

The incident occurred on Saturday during India’s first innings. Gill walked out to bat after Washington Sundar’s dismissal but managed to face just three deliveries before leaving the field. He was immediately taken to a private hospital for further evaluation. In his absence, India’s vice-captain Rishabh Pant led the team during South Africa’s second innings.
