Overview
- Gill retired hurt after sweeping Simon Harmer for four early on Day 2, immediately clutching his neck.
- He was stretchered from Eden Gardens wearing a cervical collar and taken to Woodlands Hospital for scans, staying overnight under observation.
- The BCCI confirmed he will take no further part in the Test and that its medical team is monitoring his condition.
- Vice-captain Rishabh Pant assumed on-field leadership during South Africa’s second innings.
- Reports indicate recovery may take several days, putting the Nov 22 Guwahati Test in doubt for Gill, as bowling coach Morne Morkel said he had woken with a stiff neck rather than a workload issue.
