Who Will Bat at No. 4 for India After Gill’s Injury in IND vs SA 1st Test?

Shubman Gill's neck injury during the first Test match between India and South Africa has raised serious concerns about India's batting order. Recently, BCCI issued a medical update on Shubman Gill Injury, mentioning that the Indian Test captain had a neck injury on Day 2 of the ongoing Test against South Africa in Kolkata. He was taken to the hospital for examination after the end of the day's play. He is currently under observation in the hospital. Gill will take no further part in the Test match. The board will continue to monitor his medical condition. Now, the question is who will bat at no 4 in Gill's absence.

Who Will Bat at No. 4 For Team India in IND vs SA 1st Test?

India is anticipated to move Dhruv Jurel up to the No. 4 spot as Gill will be out for the rest of the game. With just four specialist batsmen and a bowling-heavy starting eleven going into the Test, Jurel was the most obvious choice. Although the team strategy recommends stability through Jurel at four, Rishabh Pant might also be promoted. In spite of Gill's sudden departure from the vital middle-order position, his promotion guarantees India's equilibrium. As per the current Team India playing XI and strategy, Dhruv Jurel is the most probable batsman to be promoted to No. 4 for the rest of this Test.
