Follow UsIndia skipper Shubman Gill walked off the field after facing just three deliveries on Day 2 of the first Test against South Africa in Kolkata on November 15 (Saturday). He is believed to have sustained a neck spasm, which he endured after he swept Simon Hamrmer to the fence.
He immediately felt something was wrong and called for the physio. After a quick check, Gill decided to walk back into the pavilion. With India losing wickets in a hurry, will he come out to bat at any point? A release from BCCI says they are monitoring his progress.
