Shubman Gill
The Indian cricket team may have had a successful opening match against Australia for the Cricket World Cup 2023, but the team is still not at full strength. Shubman Gill, the opening batter for India, is still out due to a health issue. He apparently acquired dengue a few days ago. He has already been disqualified by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) from playing in India’s second tournament match against Afghanistan. In reality, it is now known that Gill was also admitted to a hospital in Chennai as a result of a low platelet count.
Will Shubman play in the IND vs. PAK match?
According to reports, the BCCI medical staff is constantly monitoring Gill’s improvement. However, he is not in a position to make a comeback at this time. His administration decided to transfer him to a hospital in Chennai because his platelet count had been low for some time. The player is now, however, out.
Shubman Gill has been receiving drip care in the Chennai team hotel for a few days. However, his platelet count fell to 70,000, and as is the case with dengue patients, you are admitted to a hospital as a precaution if the count falls below 100,000. He would be released as soon as the total exceeded 100,000 once more, a BCCI source told PTI.
Shubhman at Kauvery Hospital
Rizwan, the team doctor for the Indian squad, is staying with the batter to keep an eye on his recovery after Gill was said to be in Chennai’s multi-care specialty hospital, “Kauvery.”
Shubman Gill, the squad’s batsman, won’t be going to Delhi with the team on October 9, 2023. The team’s opening batter, who missed the team’s first game against Australia in Chennai as part of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023, is expected to miss the team’s upcoming game against Afghanistan in Delhi on October 11. He will remain in Chennai and be under the care of the medical staff, according to a statement released by the BCCI on Monday.

BCCI’s call
Since the Indian squad arrived in Chennai in preparation for the match against Australia, few players have had the opportunity to see Gill. The BCCI is crossing its fingers that Gill will be available for the Pakistan match on October 14. However, the star batter might find the game to be a little too soon.
If Gill’s condition improves, he might be flown to Ahmedabad right before the Pakistan match, but it might be difficult for him to demonstrate his match fitness so soon after having dengue.
