India National Cricket Team vs South Africa National Cricket Team Match Scorecard: India suffered a major blow as out-of-form India vice-captain Shubman Gill was ruled out of the last two remaining T20I matches against South Africa due to a toe injury.
According to news agency PTI, Gill sustained the injury during a training session and all preventive measures are being taken to ensure his speedy recovery.
With the vice-captain out of action, wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson is likely to play as an opener in Gill's place.
Meanwhile, the toss for India vs South Africa for the fourth T20I of the five-match series at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow has been delayed due to fog on Wednesday.
