Why are we always getting these injury updates so late? BCCI should be more transparent from day one. But glad Gill is doing better. We need him fit for the series decider! 🇮🇳

Neck injuries can be tricky. Better to rest him for Guwahati test and bring in someone like Sarfaraz. No point risking our captain's long-term career for one match. Safety first!

After that disappointing loss in Kolkata, we really need Gill back. But only if he's 100% fit. The team looks lost without his leadership. Hope BCCI makes the right call.

Good to see proper medical protocols being followed. In many sports, players are rushed back too soon. BCCI doing the right thing by monitoring him closely. Health over everything!
