Shubman Gill's injury absence forces India to rethink its left-heavy batting order for the Guwahati Test against South Africa. The team is considering in-form options like Karun Nair or Ruturaj Gaikwad to counter the spin threat from Simon Harmer.

Proteas spinner Simon Harmer achieved a historic milestone by claiming his 1,000th first-class wicket during South Africa's second Test against Pakistan in Rawalpindi. The 36-year-old off-spinner dismissed Pakistan's Noman Ali to join an elite club of only three previous South Africans. His accomplishment highlights the challenges of sustaining a red-ball career in the modern era dominated by white-ball formats.
