Gujarat Titans player Shubman Gill was forced to walk off the field after sustaining an injury to his finger during the side’s match against Rajasthan Royals on Sunday.
Gill injured his finger while attempting to complete a catch at first slip. Royals batter Devdutt Padikkal attempted to cut a short-length delivery but got an edge.
Gill attempted to collect the ball with a jump but spilled the chance as the ball ricocheted off his hand towards the third-man fielder.
Later, the 23-year-old was seen applying an ice-pack to the index finger on his right hand. In the first innings, Gill scored 45 runs off 34 deliveries as the Titans scored 177 for the loss of seven wickets.
In the 2023 season, Gill has scored 228 runs in five innings at 139.88 and an average of 45.60.
