Simon Harmer
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. This selection dilemma is crucial for balancing against South Africa's spinner.

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.
