Gill's Flight Gamble: Test Star's Injury Travel Mystery

Shubman Gill's presence in Guwahati for the second Test against South Africa, despite dealing with a neck spasm, has led to speculation. Initially cleared by the BCCI medical team to travel with the squad on November 19, his condition was monitored closely. The management had a contingency plan, including summoning a replacement player early.

Ultimately, Gill was ruled out of the match as he was not match-fit, unable to even bat in the nets. The decision to rule him out was finalized late, with travel arrangements to Mumbai then being made for further consultation.

Gill is scheduled to meet a specialist in Mumbai, Dr. Dinshaw Pardiwala, for a clearer prognosis on his recovery. While his participation in the upcoming ODI series is not yet confirmed, he is recovering well and awaits medical clearance.
