Indian captain Shubman Gill retired hurt on Day 2 of the India vs South Africa Test after experiencing sudden neck pain during play
Gill suffered the neck spasm while attempting a sweep shot against Simon Harmer, immediately showing signs of discomfort
After clutching his neck in pain, Gill was assessed by the team physio before being taken off the field as a precaution
The BCCI confirmed that Gill has a neck spasm and is currently under observation with continuous monitoring by the medical team
A final call on whether Gill will bat again or take part further in the Test will depend on his recovery progress through the day
