Rohit Sharma Shares Big Update on Shubman Gill’s Fitness for Second Test, Cautious About Pant

Rohit Brigade is trailing 1-0 in the three-match Test series between India and New Zealand. India had to face defeat by 8 wickets in Bengaluru on Sunday. The second Test of the series is to be played on the Pune ground starting on October 24. Captain Rohit Sharma gave a big update on the fitness of star batsman Shubman Gill after the defeat in the first Test. Gill did not play in the Bengaluru Test due to stiffness in the neck. Rohit also talked about wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant’s injury.

After losing the Bengaluru Test, Rohit said in the press conference, “Gill is feeling fine at the moment.” However, will Gill play in the second Test or not? The captain did not clear at the moment. A decision on his availability will be taken later. Gill was seen working hard in the nets during the first Test. He faced the sharp balls of ‘speed merchant’ Mayank Yadav during practice. At the same time, Rohit said that extra caution is being taken regarding Pant.

Pant was injured while trying to catch Ravindra Jadeja’s ball on the second day of the Bengaluru Test. Pant suffered a knee injury, so he had to leave the field. He was out of the field on the third day. However, Pant batted brilliantly on the fourth day of the match. He scored 99 runs in 105 balls with 9 fours and 5 sixes. He shared a strong 177-run partnership for the fourth wicket with Sarfaraz Khan (150), which helped India score 462 in the second innings.

The captain said, “He (Pant) had a major operation on his leg. We just need to be a little careful. Even when he was batting, he was not running comfortably. We just need to be extra careful as he has undergone a major surgery on his knee.” Let us tell you that Pant had a terrible car accident in December 2022. He stayed away from cricket for about a year and a half. He made a comeback to international cricket from the T20 World Cup 2024. Pant made a comeback in Test cricket in September.
