India's star cricketer Shubman Gill has not taken the field on Day 4 of the second Test match against England taking place at Vizag on February 5. According to sources, the 24-year-old cricketer sustained injuries to his right index finger, which prompted the Indian Cricket Board to keep him away from the cricket field. Notably, Shubman Gill has been sidelined from the squad despite performing magnificently with the bat on Day 3 of the second Test match against England.

However, star batter Sarfaraz Khan is fielding over him in the ongoing Test match. Meanwhile, Shubman Gill was over the moon after he put India in the dominant position with his bat as he went on to hammer 104 runs from 147 balls, featuring 11 boundaries and two sixes in the game, which helped them post 399 runs in the second inning against England.
"It was very important and very satisfying for me to be able to score runs at No. 3. And it felt pretty good, especially with the situation. We lost Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rohit [Sharma] bhai - they've been giving us really good starts at the top of the order. I think it was important for us to get a big lead and to be able to get as many runs as possible. I think that's part and parcel of the game," Shubman Gill said after the play on Sunday.
It's very important to stay true to who you are and how you've got runs: Shubman Gill
The stylish right-handed batter feels one should stay true to oneself in order to succeed, especially in the red ball of the game. In addition, the 24-year-old cricketer has revealed the tactical and pragmatic skills he used to help India maintain its dominant position.
"It's very important to stay true to who you are and how you've got runs. Sometimes when you're trying to be over-defensive or over-aggressive and try to be something that you're not, then you are prolonging those innings and you're sometimes not able to get out of that shell. And that was my thinking going into this Test match," he added further.
