In such a situation, the question now is whether Shubman Gill will play the second test or not?

For your information, let us tell you that the Indian team management has not yet decided on the play of Shubman Gill in the second Test match to be played in Guwahati from 22nd November. Team India will leave for Guwahati on Tuesday. Whereas Shubman Gill is under the supervision of BCCI medical team.

Indian captain Shubhman Gill may have been discharged from the hospital, but doctors have advised him to take rest for 48 to 72 hours.

Only after this will further updates be issued regarding his playing in the second test.

If Shubman Gill does not play then Rishabh Pant will be the captain

If Shubman Gill is unable to play the second test match against South Africa, then wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant will be the captain of the team.

Indian captain Shubman Gill has been admitted to the hospital in Kolkata, due to which there is doubt about his return in the first test and playing in the second test. Gill suffered a neck strain while batting on the second day of the Kolkata Test, after which he was taken to the hospital by ambulance.

Shubman Gill came to bat in the 35th over of the Indian innings. He suffered a neck strain while attempting a sweep shot off Simon Harmer. He was examined on the field for some time, but he retired out after scoring 4 runs and went out of the field.

According to news agency PTI, Gill was taken out of the field on a stretcher and a strap was tied around his neck. Another report revealed that Gill was admitted to Woodland Hospital and may remain under the observation of doctors overnight.

After Gill left the field, BCCI had given an update saying that he was suffering from neck strain. On the other hand, Team India’s bowling coach Morne Morkel said that Shubman Gill started having this problem even before coming on the field to bat.

The last few weeks have been very busy for Shubman Gill. He came to Kolkata the very next day after the Australia tour ended. Last Tuesday, he started practicing for the Test series against South Africa. Morne Morkel also stressed that Gill takes great care of his fitness, so it is possible that this may have happened due to sleeping on the wrong side.
