Shubman Gill Health Update: Team India's star opener Shubman Gill, who is still on the road to recovery, won’t be available for India vs Afghanistan ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 match in New Delhi, today (October 11). Gill reportedly tested positive for dengue a few days ago and due to his low platelet count, he missed out on playing India's ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 opening match against Australia. Shubman Gill was hospitalized in Chennai as a "precaution" and just after a few hours of hospitalisation, the star player was discharged, sent back to the team hotel in Chennai.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Monday officially ruled out Shubman Gill from India vs Afghanistan ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 match in Delhi and confirmed that he didn't travel to New Delhi with his Indian teammates for IND vs AFG World Cup fixture and will remain in Chennai under BCCI's medical team supervision. Shubman's availability for India vs Pakistan World Cup match on Saturday remains under clouds.
Ahead of India vs Afghanistan ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 match in New Delhi, team India batting coach Vikram Rathour, during a press-conference, was quizzed about an update on Shubman Gill. Here's what he said...
"He is recovering well. He was hospitalised, yes, but that was more as a precaution. He is back in the hotel; he is recovering well. So, being monitored by the medical team and whatever update we get, we are hoping that he will recover pretty soon. He is looking good actually."
Team India is expected to make just two changes from the Playing XI they named for ODI World Cup 2023 match against Australia. For today's IND vs AFG ODI World Cup 2023 match, Ishan Kishan is expected to come in for Shubman Gill and Mohammed Shami might replace Ravichandran Ashwin.
Team India batting coach Vikram Rathour's take on India's experienced batting unit
"We have a very experienced batting unit at the moment. I don't think that message is required. Everyone knows how they have to play in this format. We have a very settled batting unit at the moment. Everyone has their own way. We are giving them the freedom to play the way they want to play. And we understand that everybody has a different way of playing. But everyone has their own way of playing and we have the trust that if they play and back themselves, we will achieve what we are looking to achieve," Rathour added.
