Shubman Gill Ruled OUT! BCCI Management Hints Sarfaraz Khan Could Make Surprise Entry vs South Africa!
In a dramatic twist just a day before India’s clash against South Africa, Team India captain Shubman Gill is reportedly unavailable due to a neck issue, and according to BCCI management sources, selectors are seriously considering handing a golden opportunity to Sarfaraz Khan.

This unexpected development has thrown India’s playing XI plans into chaos — and opened the door for one of domestic cricket’s most consistent performers.
Sources inside the BCCI management have revealed that with Gill unable to recover in time, the team is inclined towards rewarding Sarfaraz Khan’s red-hot domestic form rather than reshuffling the top order.
The move, if finalized, would add explosive batting depth and give Sarfaraz the long-awaited break fans have been demanding for years.
“Gill is not fully fit. We are evaluating options, and Sarfaraz Khan is strongly being considered for the playing XI,”

Why Sarfaraz?

- Proven match-winner in pressure situations
- Offers strong middle-order stability India currently needs
