Team India suffered a major blow on Day 2 Saturday, November 15 of the ongoing first Test match against South Africa at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Skipper Shubman Gill was forced to retire out, and fans have expressed concerns on social media following the incident in the morning session.
India resumed the second day's play at 37/1 with KL Rahul 13 and Washington Sundar 6 at the crease. The batters negotiated the South African attack for the opening hour. However, Simon Harmer provided a breakthrough for his team in his first over of the day, removing Washington Sundar for 29 runs.
Shubman Gill injured his neck while batting in India's first innings. The incident took place after he struck a boundary off Simon Harmer with a sweep shot over backward square leg. After playing the shot, Gill was seen clutching the left side of his neck in visible discomfort.
