Shubman Gill took over as red-ball captain ahead of the England tour, and he remains among the very few all-format cricketers for India.
However, it was cited by Morne Morkel that the Indian skipper does not have any workload issues, but claimed that the neck spasm was due to a sleeping posture problem. However, the injury doesn't seem so light for the Indian skipper.
After the Indian captain, even some South African cricketers, Simon Harmer, Keshav Maharaj, and Marco Jansen, went up to the Woodlands hospital for a regular checkup before they leave Kolkata and advance to Guwahati for the second Test.

Shubman Gill's injury concern might rule him out of the Guwahati Test
Shubman Gill has been discharged from the hospital, but his recovery is yet to be reported by the BCCI and the physios. The BCCI has called in Nitish Kumar Reddy to replace the skipper for the second Test.
“In this situation, he is not advised to travel to Guwahati. But we are monitoring his progress on a daily basis, and the picture will be clearer by Tuesday,” the sources added.
Why did India call for Nitish Kumar Reddy, despite the presence of additional batters in the squad?
Both the batters in the squad are left-handers, and India already have several left-handers in the batting unit, except for KL Rahul, Shubman Gill, and Dhruv Jurel. Reddy, who is a right-handed batter, might further be brought down the order, and Jurel can instead be sent in early at no. 4, replacing Shubman Gill.
