Indian opening batsman Shubman Gill, a crucial part of India’s cricket team, has faced a setback in his health, making it unlikely for him to participate in the vital match against Pakistan scheduled for October 14 in Ahmedabad. Gill, who has been the top run-scorer in one-day internationals this year and a key figure in India’s opening partnership with captain Rohit Sharma, is currently grappling with ongoing health issues.
Reports from Indian media indicate that Gill has not yet recovered from dengue fever, which has resulted in a significant drop in his platelet count. He was admitted to a healthcare facility in Chennai, and a medical team from the Indian cricket board is overseeing his treatment.
Unfortunately, Gill had to miss India’s opening World Cup match against Australia due to his illness, and it’s likely he will sit out the next game against Afghanistan. Sources suggest that he may not fully recover in time for the match against Pakistan, dealing a blow to India’s World Cup campaign.
Gill’s absence will be a significant loss for the Indian cricket team, both in terms of his batting prowess and the stability he brings to the opening partnership. The team and fans will be anxiously awaiting updates on his health and hoping for a speedy recovery.
