Is Shubman Gill Available For The Second Test In Guwahati?

Indian captain Shubman Gill sustained a neck injury during the first Test in Kolkata. He was taken to the hospital after being stretchered off the field during India’s first innings, having scored only four runs off three deliveries before retiring hurt. The 26-year-old did not return to the field for the remainder of the match, leaving India one batter short during their challenging chase of 124 runs in the second innings.

While many expected him to miss the second Test, the BCCI later announced that he would travel with the team to Guwahati as his recovery was progressing well. Even though Gill was deemed fit enough to travel and accompanied the squad, the board did not provide any clarity on whether he would actually play in the second Test.

“Shubman has been responding well to the medical treatment provided and will travel to Guwahati with the team on 19th November, 2025. He will continue to be monitored by the BCCI medical team and a decision on his participation in the 2nd Test will be taken accordingly,” a BCCI statement read. (via India Today)
