IND Vs ENG, 2nd Test: Shubman Gill Takes A Nasty Blow To Head While Fielding At Slips; Video
During Day 3 of the second Test match between India and England at Edgbaston, Birmingham, Indian captain Shubman Gill had a scary moment while fielding.
The incident happened on the second ball of the 37th over of England's innings. Ravindra Jadeja was bowling, and England batter Harry Brook edged the ball. Gill, who was fielding at first slip, tried to take the catch, but the ball struck him on the head instead.

This moment reminded everyone how dangerous close-in fielding can be. Luckily, Gill did not suffer any serious injury and showed great courage by continuing to play.
