Shubman Gill

Abhishek Sharma and Tilak Varma led India's batting charge in T20Is in 2025, proving the future of Indian cricket is in safe hands

Gill, in his last 18 T20I innings, was only able to amass 377 runs at an average of 20.94, with his best score being 47 vs Pakistan during the Asia Cup 2025

Last time Gill played a T20I match in Ahmedabad he scored his maiden T20I hundred against New Zealand

Shubman Gill's recent T20I record has become one of the central talking points ahead of the squad announcement

The injury occurred during a training session, and the team is taking all necessary precautions for his swift recovery.

Shubman Gill has been a "bit too tight" since his T20 comeback as he has been trying to "justify" his place in the side but the Indian team management wants him to free up and play like he does in the IPL, assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate has said. Gill was brought back into the T20 setup with the Asia Cup in September after he led India to two famous Test wins in the drawn five-match series in England. He replaced Sanju Samson at the top but runs have not flown from his bat, raising questions ahead of the T20 World Cup at home in February-March. After the loss in the second T20I against South Africa here on Thursday, ten Doeschate said Gill needed to loosen up a bit in the shortest format. "Taking on the captaincy the way he did in England and how well he led and how much pride he took in that performance, I think an element of that carried over into what he wanted to do in the T20 side," said the assistant coach in response to a PTI query after the 51-run loss that left the ...

India's top order failed to make a mark yet again as a clincial South African bowling display helped their side to level the series in Chandigarh on the night.

Having recovered from a nasty neck injury, Shubman Gill is feeling good ahead of his comeback in the T20 International series against South Africa after undergoing extensive rehabilitation at the Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru. The CoE cleared Gill to play in the five-match series against beginning here on Tuesday. India's Test and ODI captain had injured his neck while playing a sweep shot in the first Test against South Africa last month, forcing him to miss the second Test in GUwahati and the subsequent ODI series. The T20 vice-captain would be looking for some strong performances against the Proteas. "I'm feeling much better. I think the day that I came here, from that day till today, I've had quite a bit of skill sessions and some training sessions. So, I feel much, much better," Gill told 'bcci.tv'. The BCCI also shared visuals of Gill's training and rehabilitation under the supervision of strength and conditioning coach S Rajnikanth. Gill was also seen shadow practising

Gill was earlier named in India's squad for the South Africa T20I series, but his inclusion remained subject to fitness clearance.

India have kept most of the squad that won the T20I series in Australia, with one major boost, Hardik Pandya returns after recovering from a left quadricep injury.

According to media reports, officials at the CoE were impressed by Gill's intensity and freedom of movement during recent sessions

Hardik is set to play his first match in nearly two and a half months in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT), representing Baroda against Punjab on Tuesday in Hyderabad.

Two specialist batters, B Sai Sudharsan and Devdutt Padikkal, are available, along with seam-bowling allrounder Nitish Kumar Reddy, who rejoins the squad after being rested for the first Test.

In its official statement, the BCCI revealed that Gill has been responding positively to treatment and has been cleared to travel.

BCCI confirmed the development minutes before the start of day three, ending all hopes of Gill returning to rescue his team on a wicket that has only grown more treacherous with time.

Hours after leaving the field, Gill was seen being stretchered into an ambulance, wearing a cervical collar to lock his neck in place.

The franchise, which has consistently been a strong contender since their debut in 2022, has largely kept their core intact, focusing on retaining key players for the upcoming season.

Concern for India as Shubman Gill walks off with apparent neck injury after brief but attacking start

India have received a major boost with Rishabh Pant returning from the foot injury that sidelined him for three Tests.

While Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Siraj are certain starters, Akash Deep remains the third pace option in the squad.
