IND Vs ENG, 4th Test: Shubman Gill Suffers Nasty Blow As Ben Stokes Delivers Dangerous Bouncer At Old Trafford; Video

Indian captain Shubman Gill suffered a painful blow during a tense moment on Day 5 of the fourth Test between India and England at Old Trafford. The incident occurred when Ben Stokes bowled a dangerous delivery that not only hit Gill on the arm but also ricocheted onto his helmet, leaving the batter in visible discomfort.

The delivery from Stokes was short of a length, pitched outside off, but it behaved unpredictably, rising sharply and jagging inwards. Gill, staying back to defend, was caught off guard by the sudden bounce and movement. The ball struck him on the right arm, then deflected onto his helmet, before rolling down his back.

Gill immediately winced in pain, throwing his bat and gloves away, a clear sign of how serious the blow was. The Indian physio rushed onto the field as the captain took a timeout, clutching his right thumb, which already appeared to have some strapping from an earlier knock.

The extent of Gill’s injury is yet to be confirmed, but the Indian camp will be hoping it’s not serious. With the match delicately poised, Gill’s role as both captain and top-order batter remains vital.

The crowd at Old Trafford watched on in concern and silence as one of the game’s brightest young stars battled pain and pressure in a high-stakes finale.
