Shubman Gill Hospitalised as India Chases 124 Against South Africa
In a cricket match between India and South Africa, the South African team scored 153 runs in their second turn batting.
This means the Indian team needs to score 124 runs to win the game.
However, India had a very bad start in chasing this target, losing two players right away.
Their captain, Shubman Gill, also got hurt in his neck and had to go to the hospital and can't play anymore.
A bowler from South Africa named Marco Jansen was very good and got those first two Indian players out.
The best player for South Africa in this turn was Temba Bavuma, who stayed not out after scoring 55 runs.
India needs 114 more runs to win, with two players still batting.
India needs 124 runs to win the first Test against South Africa, reaching 10/2 at lunch on Day 3.
Indian captain Shubman Gill has been hospitalized with a neck spasm and is out for the rest of the Test.
Marco Jansen took two early wickets for South Africa, dismissing openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul.
South Africa was bowled out for 153 in their second innings, with Temba Bavuma scoring an unbeaten 55.
This is the first Test at Eden Gardens, Kolkata since 2019.
