Gill ruled out of Lucknow T20I after net injury
Shubman Gill was set to miss Wednesday’s fourth T20I in Lucknow after sustaining an injury while batting in the nets. The team management had indicated he would not be available for selection as they assessed the injury.
Weather spoils plans
Before teams could finalise their XIs, poor weather intervened and the match was abandoned. Persistent conditions meant the fixture could not go ahead as scheduled, leaving Gill’s absence and the side’s plans unresolved for now.
What comes next
- Fitness update: The team’s medical staff are expected to provide a detailed update on Gill’s condition in the coming days.
- Series implications: With the match called off, both teams will regroup and look ahead to the remaining fixtures once weather and player availability are confirmed.
- Selection note: Any replacement or change to the playing XI will depend on Gill’s recovery and the captain’s strategy.
Fans will be watching for an official bulletin from the team on Gill’s injury and whether he will be fit for the next game. For now, the Lucknow washout leaves that question unanswered.
