Injury-hit India crumble for 189 at Eden Gardens — yet lead South Africa by 30 runs
Kolkata/IBNS: South Africa bowled out India for 189 in the first innings of the maiden Test against India at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Saturday.
India took a lead of 30 runs in the first innings.
KL Rahul was the top scorer for India with his 39.
Simon Harmer picked four wickets for the Proteas.
India suffered a blow as their captain Shubman Gill left the field after experiencing a neck sprain just three balls into his innings.
Gill suffered the sprain immediately after a sweep shot that earned him a boundary, the only runs he had scored before retiring hurt.
The skipper did not come out to bat later in a shot in the arm for South Africa.
The Indian cricket board BCCI posted an update on X, "Shubman Gill has a neck spasm and is being monitored by the BCCI medical team. A decision on his participation today will be taken as per his progress."
