Setback for India as Gill Faces Sudden Neck Injury
Shubman Gill’s dramatic exit unfolded on Day 2 of the Test against South Africa at Eden Gardens. After facing just three deliveries, Gill clutched the back of his neck, having apparently experienced a whiplash while sweeping Simon Harmer for a boundary. Despite immediate attention from the team physio, Gill’s condition worsened and he was soon seen being stretchered into an ambulance with his neck immobilised. The incident left the Indian camp shaken, as Gill retired hurt after showing visible discomfort during the innings. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) released an official statement confirming that Gill was “taken to the hospital for examination after the end of day’s play” and that he will take no further part in the Test match, remaining under close medical observation.
Possible Cause and Team’s Response
The assistant coach Morne Morkel addressed concerns regarding Gill’s workload, which has included non-stop cricket across formats since leading India in the England Test series earlier in the year. Morkel, however, suggested that the neck stiffness might be due to something as simple as a bad night’s sleep rather than a result of cricket fatigue. The exact cause of the injury remains unclear, but the BCCI medical team is monitoring Gill’s progress for further updates. Gill’s forced withdrawal is a major blow for Team India’s prospects in the Kolkata Test, especially given his crucial leadership role and impressive performance in recent matches.
With Shubman Gill’s recovery timeline uncertain, Team India will have to recalibrate its strategy for the remainder of the Test and hope for encouraging news from the BCCI medical team.
