India vs England: Shubman Gill says the injury on his finger during the second Test is not a major concern after the 24-year-old Indian opener had to stay away from the field on the fourth day of the match in Visakhapatnam.

Shubman Gill said that the scans on his finger revealed nothing serious and he would be fine in the next few days. The batter scored a century on the third day of the Test, which India won by 106 runs to level the series 1-1.

Sarfaraz Khan substituted for him on the field. Gill had hurriedly left the ground at the end of day's play on Sunday after hurting his right index finger and after the match drew to a close on Monday, he revealed that he had gone for scans.

"I had to go for the scans yesterday, so they rushed me off (to know) like how sore is my finger in the evening... to check that and to know how am I feeling," Gill told the host broadcaster after India's win, adding that he would be fine.

Earlier on Monday, the Indian team management issued a statement saying: "Shubman Gill hurt his right index finger while fielding on Day 2. He won't be taking the field today."

A vital member in the slip cordon, Gill had taken four catches during England's first innings. The third match of the series will be played in Rajkot from February 15.
