India Test and ODI captain Shubman Gill’s initiation into the leadership role has faced patches of breaks in between due to injury concerns over the last year.
Having taken over as India’s captain in both formats mid-way through 2025, Gill has faced multiple injury breaks in between. The Punjab batter suffered a neck spasm during India’s first Test against South Africa at home last year and was subsequently absent during the 0-2 landmark series defeat. Gill also missed the ODI series against South Africa due to the injury.
