ICC Cricket World Cup 2023: Shubman Gill is unwell with a fever and is questionable to start against Australia
Shubman Gill’s health troubles have added to the Indian team’s concerns ahead of their maiden ODI World Cup encounter against Australia in 2023. The batsman is a questionable starter for Sunday’s game in Chennai. If Gill is unable to play, Ishan Kishan may be next in line to start.
The recent most productive ODI batsman for India, Gill, is allegedly suffering from a high temperature and will be tested for dengue on Friday before a decision is made.
Shubhman has been sick since arriving in Chennai. They are doing his exams. A BCCI source with knowledge of squad affairs informed PTI on the condition of anonymity that he would undergo tests on Friday and a decision will be made on his participation in the first game.
Gill is reportedly being tested for dengue, and if so, he may have to miss a few games.
Patients with dengue might take anywhere between 7 and 10 days to fully recover physically and be able to resume routine activities.
“Let’s not act prematurely. He may play on antibiotics if it’s a typical viral fever, but the decision totally rests with the medical staff, the source added.
