Why Shubman Gill isn’t fielding on Day 4 of India vs England Test in Vizag? Check here

India’s star cricketer Shubman Gill has not taken the field on Day 4 of the second Test match against England taking place at Vizag on February 5. According to sources, the 24-year-old cricketer sustained injuries to his right index finger, which prompted the Indian Cricket Board to keep him away from the cricket field. Notably, the Indian Cricket Board also confirmed the news and posted a tweet on social media about his injury update.

Meanwhile, the star cricketer recently hammered a magnificent hundred on Day 3 of the second Test match to keep India in the commanding position. In addition, the top-order batter reveals his strategic and pragmatic skills after Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal were dismissed in the second inning.

“It was very important and very satisfying for me to be able to score runs at No. 3. And it felt pretty good, especially with the situation. We lost Yashasvi and Rohit [Sharma] bhai – they’ve been giving us really good starts at the top of the order. I think it was important for us to get a big lead and to be able to get as many runs as possible. I think that’s part and parcel of the game. You do well and everybody’s going to applaud you,” Shubman Gill said after the play on Sunday.

It’s very important to stay true to who you are and how you’ve got runs: Shubman Gill

The Punjab-born cricketer admitted that he tried very hard to keep India in a dominant position as he wasn’t able to score runs ahead of Day 3. Moreover, the Gujarat Titans skipper reveals his thinking and skills to hammer the century on Day 3.

“It’s very important to stay true to who you are and how you’ve got runs. Sometimes when you’re trying to be over-defensive or over-aggressive and try to be something that you’re not, then you are prolonging those innings and you’re sometimes not able to get out of that shell. And that was my thinking going into this Test match,” he added further.
