Big Concern for South Africa as TWO Cricketers Went to Hospital, What Happened?

India and South Africa are playing a three-format series in India, which began with a test match at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. The first test match between India and South Africa saw a great game of cricket where South Africa gave a disappointing defeat to the hosts, and skipper Temba Bavuma continued his winning streak as a test captain.

During the first test of the IND vs SA Test Series, Shubman Gill got retired hurt due to a neck spasm and went on to be ruled out of the match due to injury and was being treated at Woodland Hospital, Kolkata. Not only was Gill at the hospital, but two South African players were also spotted at Woodland Hospital after the first test match in Kolkata.

Which South African Cricketer Got Hospitalized?

According to reports, Simon Harmer and Marco Jansen checked in at Woodland Hospital, Kolkata, for a series of investigations. The specific reason for the hospital visit is unknown, that why these players went to the hospital where Shubman Gill was treated for his neck spasm. There are speculations that these cricketers might have had food poisoning, which is quite common among foreign players when they tour India to play cricket.

Recently, the Australian A team in Kanpur faced this issue, and it might be the same case for South African players ahead of the IND vs SA 2nd test match. The South African National cricket team would be hoping that there won't be any issues in the squad, like Simon Harmer Injury and Marco Jansen Injury, which will impact the overall team, as both players were the star performers in the first match against India.
