Shubman Gill, who was diagnosed with dengue and missed India’s opening match against Australia in Chennai due to the illness, will also be absent from India’s World Cup match against Afghanistan on Wednesday in Delhi.
According to the BCCI, Gill “will stay back in Chennai and be under the supervision of the medical team” rather than traveling to Delhi with the team.
He [Gill] is obviously feeling better today than he was yesterday, so that’s a positive, but the medical staff is monitoring him on a day-to-day basis, head coach Rahul Dravid stated two days prior to the Australia game. We’ll see how that happens as we still have 36 hours to go. If possible, we’ll put off making a decision until the very last moment.
But Gill’s recovery was too slow. At the coin toss versus Australia, Rohit Sharma stated, “We waited until this morning and he couldn’t recover.
Ishan Kishan started the innings with Rohit in place of Gill. Despite being down to 2 for 3 in a 200-run chase after Kishan, Rohit, and Shreyas Iyer were dismissed for ducks, India rallied to complete the chase with six wickets remaining and 52 balls remaining.
With 1230 runs this year at an average of 72.35 and a strike rate of 105.03, Gill is the player with the most runs in ODIs. He has scored two hundred and a half-century in his last four ODIs.
After their game against Afghanistan on October 11, India travel from Delhi to Ahmedabad for their fixture against Pakistan on October 14.
