Shubman Gill will travel to Guwahati for 2nd Test: BCCI

India captain Shubman Gill will travel to Guwahati for the second Test against South Africa despite a neck injury. BCCI to decide on his participation after medical assessment.

India skipper Shubman Gill will travel to Guwahati for the second Test against South Africa despite his participation being in doubt due to a neck injury, the BCCI announced on Wednesday.
The 26-year-old Gill suffered the injury on the second day of the first Test that India lost by 30 runs in Kolkata. He could not bat after retiring hurt in the first innings and was even hospitalised.
The second Test starts on November 22.
"Shubman has been responding well to the medical treatment provided and will travel to Guwahati with the team on 19th November, 2025," BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia said in a statement.
"He will continue to be monitored by the BCCI medical team and a decision on his participation in the 2nd Test will be taken accordingly," he added, continuing the suspense over Gill's availability.
With Gill's participation highly unlikely, all-rounder Nitish Reddy has been taken out of the ongoing India A series against South Africa A in Rajkot.
The Andhra batting all-rounder reached Kolkata on Monday evening but did not take part in Tuesday's net session.
With a Test century to his name and being a right-hander, Reddy could be in contention for a place in the playing eleven at Guwahati if Gill is ruled out.

Guwahati is set to become a hospitality hub with 11 new five-star hotels, including Marriott International projects. The Rs 500 crore investment highlights Chief Minister Sarma's vision for economic and tourism growth.

Guwahati to Host 11 New Five-Star Hotels Soon

In a major boost to Guwahati's hospitality scene, 11 new five-star hotels, including projects by Marriott International, are announced by Assam's CM, Himanta Biswa Sarma. This Rs 500 crore investment aims to position Guwahati as a leading hospitality hub.

Guwahati is set to become a hospitality hub with 11 new five-star hotels

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced the arrival of 11 new five-star hotels in Guwahati. Two Marriott International hotels will be developed, marking a Rs 500 crore investment.

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Monday said Guwahati will get 11 new five-star hotels, transforming the city into a hospitality hub of the region.
Sarma laid the foundation stone for two hotels of the global hospitality chain Marriott International, to be developed at an investment of Rs 500 crore.
"Guwahati gets a leg up on attracting global hospitality chains! Today, I performed the Bhoomi Poojan for two major Marriott International properties," he said in a post on X.
These two upcoming projects -- Marriott Resort &amp; Spa and Fairfield by Marriott -- will be huge and unique as they will be developed on 76 bigha (over 25 acre) of land, he said.
"The MOUs for these projects worth Rs 500 crore were signed during the Advantage Assam 2.0 investment summit earlier this year and work has begun within just three months," Sarma said.
"With 11 five-star hotels in the pipeline, Guwahati is becoming a hub for global hospitality chains who are seizing the opportunity to cater to the huge demand in the region," he said.
Sharing details, the CM said there will be four more Marriott hotels in the city, followed by two new Taj properties and one of the Lemon Tree.
"Radisson is expanding by 100 more keys. In place of the present Vivanta, Taj is coming up. These projects are expected to significantly strengthen Assam's hospitality infrastructure and create substantial direct and indirect employment opportunities, contributing to the state's economic growth," he said.

KKR and Rajasthan Royals look to bounce back from opening losses in a much-anticipated IPL contest in Guwahati. Focus is on improving both teams' bowling and batting lineups.

KKR vs RR: IPL Showdown in Guwahati

Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals, seeking to recover from initial defeats, face off in a key IPL match. With crucial roles for spinners and both batting orders needing improvement, the Guwahati clash promises high stakes and thrilling action.

KKR and RR seek redemption in thrilling IPL clash in Guwahati

KKR and RR aim to bounce back from initial defeats as they clash in an IPL match in Guwahati, focusing on improving bowling and batting performances, with key players under scrutiny.

Outmuscled in their previous matches, title-holders Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals will eye a quick course correction in ever aspect when they face each other in an IPL match in Guwahat on Wednesday.
The Knight Riders were beaten by seven wickets by Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the tournament-opener while the Royals were given a 44-run drubbing by Sunrisers Hyderabad. The common theme in those defeats was how the seemingly powerful batting and bowling units of KKR and RR failed to fire.
While the Rajasthan outfit might offer the excuse of playing on a Hyderabad shirtfront for the malfunction of their bowling unit, the Kolkata side do not have any such cover.
Apart from Sunil Narine, none of the KKR bowlers were able to contain free-flowing RCB batters, and in that the demystification of mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy might just worry them a bit.
Even on an Eden Gardens pitch that had some grip, Chakravarthy was given a towelling by Phil Salt and Virat Kohli.
The KKR camp now hopes that the spinner will find his stride on a Guwahati pitch that generally has some bite.
They will also keep an eye on the fitness of Anrich Nortje, who is recovering from a back strain. If the South African gets a green signal from the physios, then he will walk in for Spencer Johnson.
Similarly, KKR's middle-order batting crumbled spectacularly after skipper Ajinkya Rahane and Narine gave them a blistering start, eventually settling for a sub-par score.
Their batting pivots such as Venkatesh Iyer and Andre Russell got out, playing pre-determined cross-batted shots, and KKR will hope that they will show more game awareness in Guwahati.
The Knight Riders will also hope that Rinku Singh regains his hitting prowess down the order. It is crucial in converting a good total into something more intimidating in nature.
His recent T20 form is not that encouraging and in his last five international outings, Rinku has logged scores of 11, 9, 8, 30, 9 along with a 12 in the IPL opener.
Rinku and his top-order colleagues in KKR will hope that the Rajasthan bowlers would once again struggle to find their groove here.
The likes of Jofra Archer, who bowled the most expensive spell in the history of IPL against SRH, Fazalhaq Farooqi and Maheesh Theekshana were rudderless against the onslaught of Travis Head and Ishan Kishan. Archer had leaked 76 runs from his overs at the Uppal.
But they have an opportunity in Guwahati to regain their form.
It will also be a blot on stand-in skipper Riyan Parag who, at times, looked perplexed on the field about the decisions to be made.
The Rahul Dravid-coached side will eye sharper and more intuitive leadership from Parag against KKR.

Flight operations were halted briefly and six incoming flights were diverted as airport authorities were on their toes to mitigate the situation.  

Portion of Guwahati airport ceiling collapses amidst storm, rainfall 

Flight operations were halted briefly and six incoming flights were diverted as airport authorities were on their toes to mitigate the situation.&nbsp;&nbsp;

A portion of the Guwahati airport's false ceiling collapsed amidst severe storms and rainfall in Assam on March 31.
The incident prompted the authorities of Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport to briefly halt operations and divert six flights to other destinations.
A purported video of the ceiling falling and rainwater gushing has gone viral on social media platforms. So far, no injuries have been reported.&nbsp;
The storm uprooted a big tree at the Oil India complex outside the Adani Group-controlled facility and blocked a road, Chief Airport Officer (CAO) Utpal Baruah told PTI.
"We immediately rushed there and cleared the road for smooth supply of fuel to the terminal. It took us over half-an-hour," he said.
When the rain and storm lashed the area, a portion of the roof was blown away in the forecourt area, Baruah said.
"It was very old and could not withstand the impact. Due to this, the ceiling broke open and water started flowing inside. However, there was no injury and everything is under control," he said.
Baruah also said that water entered the terminal from the ceiling.
"I am personally monitoring the situation so that passengers do not face any inconvenience. Due to the storm and heavy rain, the visibility dropped drastically and we had to divert six flights," the CAO said.
The flights operated by IndiGo, Air India and Air India Express have been diverted to Agartala and Calcutta, he said.
"The visibility has improved and normal operations have resumed. Flights have started landing in Guwahati," Baruah added.

IND vs SA, 2nd T20: Rain could play spoilsport in Guwahati 

The 2nd T20I encounter between India and South Africa might be interrupted by the weather conditions at the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati.

Here's why

The Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati has a history of called off games as rain is expected to play spoilsport again in India's 2nd T20I against the Proteas.

India's 2nd T20I match against South Africa might witness a delay as the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati is expecting one or two spells of rain or thundershower on Sunday.
With the 39,000 capacity stadium being sold out for the first time in an international cricket game since the COVID-19 pandemic, both the fans and players would be hoping for an uninterrupted game of cricket today.
The last fixture which took place at the Barsapara Stadium was India's T20 match against Sri Lanka on January 5 back in 2020. That match was eventually called off due to heavy downpour in Guwahati.
