Shubman Gill, displaying promising form from the start of the innings, retired hurt due to leg cramps, making way for Shreyas Iyer. Although Gill initially took time to settle, he elevated his performance after Rohit Sharma’s departure.
In the 23rd over, facing Mitchell Santner, Gill experienced cramps, leading to his temporary exit. Despite medical assistance, he couldn’t resume, allowing Shreyas Iyer to take over. Iyer showcased fast hands and a knack for finding gaps, accumulating 79 runs off 65 deliveries with eight boundaries and three sixes.
Currently, India has raced past 200 in just 28 overs with Kohli crossing his half century and Shreyas Iyer looking to play aggressive brand of cricket.

Can Retired Hurt Player Bat Again? Will Shubman Gill Return?
A batter who has retired hurt can rejoin the game if they recover before their team completes the innings. However, it’s important to highlight that the retired hurt batter can only resume their innings when a wicket falls or another batter in their team retires. Shubman Gill can decide to return if a player gets out in India’s innings. However, that also depends on his injury. Team India is yet to provide details regarding his injury.
