Team India won the first ODI played at Edgbaston, but captain Shubman Gil has increased the tension of the team. Gill went out of the field limping due to cramps. He had scored an inning of 80 runs in 75 balls by hitting 11 fours and 1 six. Gill tried to play with the cramp for some time, but when the pain became too much, he retired hurt and walked off the field. Now the question arises whether Gill will be able to play the second ODI?
The second ODI of the series is to be played on Thursday (July 16). The first match was on Tuesday. There is a gap of only one day between the first and second matches. Therefore, Gill going out like this is increasing the tension of Team India. He is in great form. Runs are coming off his bat. In such a situation, if Gill is unable to play the second ODI due to muscle strain, then Team India may be in big trouble.
Questions raised on Gill’s fitness
This was not the first time that Gill went out of the field due to cramps or muscle strain. Even in the semi-finals of the 2023 ODI World Cup, Gill went out of the field due to cramp. Although he came back again.
Gill suffered neck stiffness in the Test played against South Africa in Kolkata in November 2025 and was out of the match. After this Gill also had to go to the hospital. In this way, repeated muscle strains are raising questions on Gill’s fitness.
