Shubman Gill: The Indian team’s concerns leading up to their first World Cup match against Australia have intensified due to the health problems of Shubman Gill, who has been in excellent form. Gill, India’s top-performing batsman in ODIs recently, is currently battling a high fever and has tested positive for dengue. As a result, his participation in Sunday’s game is uncertain.
Shubman Gill to miss opening match?
A BCCI source anonymously stated, “Shubman has had high fever since landing in Chennai. His tests are being done. He will have tests on Friday and a call will be taken on his participation in opening game.” Insiders have revealed that the Indian team management is closely observing Shubman Gill’s recovery, and a decision regarding his participation will be made following additional tests scheduled for Friday.
The recuperation period for dengue patients can differ, typically requiring about 7-10 days before they are fully fit and match-ready. In the event that Gill is unable to play due to his illness, this situation presents opportunities for either KL Rahul or Ishan Kishan, with one of them likely to be selected as the opening partner for Rohit Sharma.
Shubman Gill’s dream year
However, Shubman Gill’s absence will undoubtedly be a significant blow to India’s batting strength. The dynamic young player has been India’s most consistent run-scorer this year and has established himself as one of the premier openers in international cricket at the moment, boasting an impressive average of over 70 runs in ODIs this year.
