India opener Shubman Gill will not be taking the field on Day 4 of the ongoing second Test against England in Vizag.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), the BCCI updated that Gill hurt his right index finger while fielding in England's first innings and won’t be able to take the field on Monday (February 5).

Notably, Shubman Gill flourished under extreme pressure, proving his critics wrong with a gritty hundred on Day 3 of the second Test against England.

This was Gill's third century in Test cricket and his first at the No. 3 position. Before this, the right-hander had not scored a single fifty at the one-down spot and questions were raised over his place in the side.

However, Shubman rose to the occasion when India needed him the most in their second innings, slamming 104 off 147 balls with 11 fours and 2 sixes. His knock propelled the hosts to 255, setting a daunting target of 399 for the visitors.

After the third day’s play, Gill expressed delight that he managed to end his lean patch but admitted that he left a bit out there.

The 24-year-old threw away his wicket while trying to reverse sweep off-spinner Shoaib Bashir.

“Definitely very pleased but I left a bit out there to be honest,” Gill told JioCinema.
