Shubman Gill reaches Guwahati
BCCI has confirmed that Shubman Gill will be part of Team India in Guwahati, but his participation isn’t confirmed. The final call will be taken after assessing his fitness. However, it’s understood that the Indian Test captain wishes to play and might train on November 20 to prove his fitness.
Hardik-Bumrah out
Hardik Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah won’t feature in the India vs South Africa ODI series. The BCCI doesn’t want to risk either of them and wants them to play just one format of white-ball cricket, T20Is, keeping the 2026 T20 World Cup in mind. Read more about it here.
