Team India Test and ODI skipper Shubman Gill is close to making his return after spending several weeks recovering from a neck injury that was sustained during the first Test against South Africa in Kolkata. Gill is likely to be available for the upcoming five-match T20I series against South Africa, 'subject to fitness."
Gill was forced to retire hurt during the first innings of the Kolkata Test. He went on to miss the subsequent Guwahati fixture as well as the ongoing three-match ODI series against South Africa. He later met a spine specialist in Mumbai, and his return to action is expected soon after his rehabilitation in Bengaluru.
