US EditionIndia Captain Gill Out of South Africa Test with Neck Injury
Shubman Gill retired hurt with a neck sprain after facing three balls attempting a slog sweep off Simon Harmer in the first Test against South Africa.
- On November 15, 2025, Captain Shubman Gill was forced off at Eden Gardens after suffering a neck sprain attempting a slog sweep off Simon Harmer during the first Test between India and South Africa.
- After hitting a boundary, Gill appeared to suffer a whiplash in the follow-through, clutching his neck and calling for help as the team physio attended.
