neck pain after shot
Gill suffered a neck injury on the second day of the first Test match being played against South Africa at the Eden Gardens Stadium. Team India was starting its first innings on Saturday, 15 November. Captain Gill hit a sweep shot. However, as soon as he took the shot, he felt a sharp pain in his neck and immediately took off his helmet. The team physio examined him and then retired hurt.
Gill admitted to Kolkata hospital
Shubman Gill did not bat during the entire innings and remained in the dressing room. But now there is a bad news for Team India. A report in RevSports states that considering the condition of Shubman Gill, he has been admitted to Woodlands Hospital in Kolkata, where his treatment will continue. The report also said that Gill has been kept under observation and has been given medication. Today we will know how long the Indian captain will remain in the hospital or whether he will need any further treatment or not.
Out of Kolkata test?
Although the Indian Cricket Board has not yet released any official information on this matter, the current situation suggests that if Team India needs Gill in the second innings, then the chances of his playing are slim. The worrying thing is that if this injury becomes more serious, then it may be difficult for the Indian captain to play in the second Test starting from November 21 in Guwahati.
After the second day’s play, the team’s batting coach Sitanshu Kotak revealed that Gill had suffered an injury before batting. Kotak told that the star batsman was feeling pain in the back of his neck since he woke up in the morning, which was unfortunate. However, he came to bat and while playing a shot his pain increased due to which he did not come out of the pavilion to bat again and the Indian innings ended with the fall of 9 wickets.
