The Indian cricket team has received a significant setback ahead of their opening match in the 2023 One-Day International (ODI) World Cup. Star opening batsman Shubman Gill has fallen ill, casting doubts on his availability to face Australia. However, there is hope that he may recover in time to play against Pakistan.
In recent days, Shubman Gill, one of India's most promising batsmen in ODIs, has been reportedly suffering from a high fever. A decision regarding his participation in the World Cup will be made following a dengue test on Friday.
According to sources within the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), "Since arriving in Chennai, Shubman has been running a high fever. He is undergoing tests, and a decision will be made regarding his participation in the opening match." It has been learned that Gill is being tested for dengue, and in such cases, he is unlikely to participate in the initial matches.
Recovery from dengue can vary from person to person, and it generally takes about 7-10 days for patients to recuperate fully and be match-fit. Sources suggest that Gill should not rush his recovery process. If the fever is due to a common viral infection, he might be able to take antibiotics, but the final call rests with the medical team.
Shubman Gill has been a standout performer for India in ODIs this year, having scored more than a thousand runs, including a double century. His role in India's World Cup campaign is pivotal, and his fitness is crucial for the team's chances of success.
With Gill's health situation uncertain, fans and the entire Indian cricket team are keeping their fingers crossed, hoping for his swift recovery to boost India's prospects in the World Cup.
