Shubman Gill Suffers Serious Neck Nerve Injury, Ruled Out of All International Cricket in 2025
Shubman Gill Injury Update: Gill was flown to Mumbai where a spinal injury specialist examined him. Gill has suffered a nerve injury. He is currently receiving injections, and his rehabilitation process will begin in a few days.
Indian Test and ODI captain Shubman Gill has suffered a serious nerve injury in the neck, which will keep him out of action for a very long time. According to a report by Sports Tak, Gill is now ruled out of the ongoing Test series against South Africa and subsequently the three ODIs and five T20Is that follow it. In other words, he will miss all remaining international matches in 2025.
While batting during the first innings of the first Test in Kolkata against South Africa, Gill suddenly felt pain in his neck. Later, he could not field in South Africa's second innings and could not bat during India's second innings while chasing a target of 124 runs. He was taken to a hospital in Kolkata after the second day's play, where he was discharged the next day after preliminary evaluation.
After being ruled out of the second Test in Guwahati, Gill was sent to Mumbai for further evaluation. A spinal injury specialist examined him there and confirmed a nerve injury. He is currently receiving injections. His rehabilitation program will begin in a few days. The BCCI and team management are reluctant to take any risks, as the T20 World Cup is scheduled to be played in India in February 2026.

According to reports, Shubman Gill may return to the team in January 2026 for the home series against New Zealand. Before that, he will completely miss the ODI series against South Africa starting on January 11th and the T20 series starting on January 21st. These two series will be India's last bilateral series before the T20 World Cup.
The squads for the ODI and T20 series against South Africa are expected to be announced today, November 23, 2025. New names will now have to be considered for the captaincy and opening slots. Shubman Gill's absence is a major blow not only to the Indian team's batting but also to its leadership. Fans and team management hope he returns fully fit and soon.
