  "account": "India's captain, Shubman Gill, experienced an injury scare during a practice session on Friday before the upcoming ODI against the West Indies. The incident occurred at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram, where Gill was struck on the elbow by a delivery from Mohammed Siraj. Gill appeared to be in severe pain and promptly left the nets to receive medical treatment. Reports indicate that Gill was hit on his right elbow and required bandaging. However, it has not been confirmed if Gill will miss the first ODI, which is scheduled for September 27. KL Rahul was recently named as the vice-captain for the series, while other players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Ruturaj Gaikwad are also part of the squad. If Gill is ruled out of the first ODI, Yashasvi Jaiswal could be considered as the reserve opener, and KL Rahul may take over the captaincy. As of now, no official replacement for Gill has been announced.",
