The incident happened when Gill was hit on his forearm while fielding at short leg. He was seen limping and taking some time to recover from the blow. Even vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane rushed to his aid.
Earlier, on the third day, the hosts completely dominated the proceedings. Veteran spinner Ravichand𝄹ran Ashwin smashed his fifth Test century to put India in a commanding position. The home side scored 286 in their second innings, setting England a challenging target of 482 runs and ꦆreducing them to ♋53/3 at stumps.
Before hitting the hundred, Ashwin had also picked up a five-wicket haul in England’s first innings, thus becoming only the second player after legendary Ian Botham to achieve the feat of a century๊ and a fifer in the same game on thre꧃e different instances.
