India's Test captain, Shubman Gill, suffered from neck spasms that rendered him out of action from the majority of the first India vs South Africa Test match in Kolkata.

He faced 3 balls on Day 2, scoring 4 runs, but then had to be taken off the field. Notably, he had to be hospitalized, but has now reportedly been discharged.

His participation in the IND vs SA 2nd Test, which is set to be played at the ACA Stadium in Guwahati is still up in the air. However, as per a report by the Times of India, there is a chance of Gill traveling with the Indian squad to the venue on Wednesday, November 19, 2025. 

If not on Wednesday, then the report suggests that he could on Thursday instead.
