Mumbai: Indian Cricket Team Faces Major Blow as Shubman Gill Contracts Dengue Fever
In a significant setback for the Indian cricket team ahead of the ODI World Cup, opener Shubman Gill has been diagnosed with dengue fever. This unfortunate development has raised doubts about Gill’s availability for the team’s first match against Australia in Chennai this Sunday.
The absence of Gill is expected to leave a void in the team’s batting line-up, as the young cricketer has been in excellent form recently. However, the team management is likely to turn to Ishan Kishan to step up as the new opener alongside captain Rohit Sharma.
Gill, who was in good form, participated in a practice session with the team at the Chennai MA Chidambaram Stadium exactly a day prior to his diagnosis, highlighting the unexpectedly sudden turn of events.
Gill’s Health Assessment and Performance
The 21-year-old cricketer is currently undergoing treatment after testing positive for dengue. His health condition will be closely monitored, and a re-evaluation is scheduled for Friday to determine his availability for the upcoming matches.
Shubman Gill has been a formidable player for the Indian team, displaying exceptional skills in recent tournaments. Earlier this year, he delivered a remarkable double century against New Zealand, showcasing his remarkable talent and earning a well-deserved place in the team.
In the last season of the Indian Premier League, Gill finished as the leading run-scorer with an impressive 890 runs, further solidifying his position in the national team. The young cricketer also made a significant impact during the Asia Cup held in Sri Lanka, accumulating a total of 302 runs.
His recent scores in the previous innings have been exceptional, with 104, 74, 27, 121, 19, 58, and 67, further highlighting his contributions to the team’s success.
In the wake of Gill’s absence, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is reportedly considering placing KL Rahul as the opener alongside Ishan Kishan. Additionally, the return of key players such as Jasprit Bumrah, KL Rahul, and Shreyas Iyer, who have recovered from their injuries, adds a positive note to the team’s preparations for the World Cup.
However, the Indian team faces another blow as Akshar Patel remains injured from the Asia Cup, leading to the inclusion of veteran spinner R. Ashwin in India’s World Cup squad.
