Meanwhile, interesting news has come that Rishabh Pant is not alone in the race to become the captain in this series. The latest news is surprising to everyone. A report has claimed that wicketkeeper batsman KL Rahul is also in the race to become the captain.
The three-match ODI series between India and South Africa will start from November 30. It has been reported that Shubman Gill will be out of the upcoming three-match ODI series against South Africa due to neck injury. News agency PTI, quoting BCCI sources, has said in its report that Gill’s neck injury is expected to take a long time to heal.
It is difficult for Shubman Gill to play even T20 series, he is undergoing treatment in Mumbai.
The names of wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant and senior batsman KL Rahul can be considered for captaincy while senior batsman Rohit Sharma is also in the team. There is little possibility of Gill playing in the upcoming T20 International series against South Africa starting from December 9.
According to reliable sources of BCCI, Gill’s injury is not just a neck spasm. He will need rest and the Indian team management will not rush his return. Gill is currently in Mumbai, where his tests including MRI are being done. It is learned that Gill has consulted Mumbai-based spine specialist Dr Abhay Nene and has forwarded the examination of the medical report to chief selector Ajit Agarkar.
