World Cup 2023: Good news for Team India, Rahul Dravid gave a big update on Shubman Gill’s health.

Sunday 8th October cricket world cup 2023 Before its opening match, the Indian cricket team is facing a big worry. India’s star batsman Shubman Gill is suspected to be suffering from dengue and his chances of playing in Sunday’s match against Australia are very slim. In case of Gill being out, Ishan Kishan can start the innings. Although KL Rahul Has also played the role of Team India’s opening batsman on many occasions. BCCI has not yet clarified anything about Gill’s illness. It has been said in BCCI’s medical update that his health is bad. The medical team is keeping a close eye on him. We are hoping that he will get better soon. We should wait for further updates from the medical team.

Rahul Dravid said this

India head coach Rahul Dravid provided more updates on the team’s swashbuckling opening batsman Shubman Gill. Dravid said during a press conference, ‘Today he is definitely feeling better. The medical team is monitoring on a daily basis. We have 36 hours and we will see what they decide.

Shubman Gill is suffering from high fever

Before their World Cup match, Dravid further said, ‘Gill is definitely feeling better today. The medical team has not yet taken him out. We will continue to monitor them every day. He will be monitored on a day-to-day basis and we will see how he feels the day after tomorrow. Gill, India’s most prolific batsman in ODIs in recent times, is reportedly suffering from high fever and was to be tested for dengue on Friday before a final decision on the matter is taken. However, it is not clear whether Gill is suffering from dengue.

BCCI did not confirm

News agency PTI quoted a BCCI source as saying that Shubman Gill has high fever after landing in Chennai. Their tests are being conducted. He will undergo tests on Friday and a decision will be taken on his participation in the opening game. The report also said that it has been learned that Gill is being tested again for dengue and if it is confirmed, he may miss some matches.

Gill may miss the opening match

It usually takes 7-10 days for any player to recover from dengue and become fit for the match. If there is a significant drop in platelet count, it may take longer. If Gill suffers from dengue, he will miss not only the matches against Australia but also against Afghanistan (October 11) and Pakistan (October 14). This will be a big blow for Team India.

Gill is in great form

The team management believes that it is too early to make any kind of speculation regarding Gill. If it is a normal fever then Gill will be fit to play in two days. For this reason the medical team is continuously monitoring him. If Gill is not in a position to play, he may be rested from the match against Australia. Gill has scored 1,200 runs this season. If he remains absent for a long time then it can be a big blow for the Indian team.
