Team India captain Shubman Gill was on Friday released from the Test squad ahead of the second match against South Africa, starting Saturday. "Team India captain Shubman Gill, who suffered a neck injury during the first Test against South Africa, has been ruled out of the second Test in Guwahati," said BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia in a statement. "Gill suffered a neck injury on Day 2 of the Kolkata Test and was taken to the hospital for examination after the end of day's play. He was kept under observation and discharged the next day. He travelled to Guwahati on 19th November, 2025," the statement said. "Unfortunately, he was not fully fit to feature in the 2nd Test and will head to Mumbai for further assessment of his injury." It remains to be seen if Gill can play the upcoming ODI series. "We don't want recurrence of spasm during the game," batting coach Sitanshu Kotak had said on Thursday. South Africa lead the two-match series 1-0 after their memorable win at Eden Gardens.&nbsp;
