Indian cricket team faces a big setback ahead of crucial match against Pakistan
Shares
Cricket-lovers will experience a void in the much-anticipated clash between Pakistan and India, as star Indian batsman Shubman Gill is unable to participate due to hospitalization resulting from dengue fever.
Gill contracted the virus a few days ago, and his condition has since deteriorated, with doctors identifying a low platelet count in his reports. Consequently, Gill was transferred to a hospital in Chennai on Monday, with his treatment being closely monitored by the Indian cricket board medical panel.
As a result of his illness, Gill is expected to miss two crucial matches, the first against Afghanistan on October 11, and the second against Pakistan on October 14, both scheduled to take place in Ahmedabad. This setback follows his absence in India's opening match of this World Cup against Australia.
In the current year, Gill has been in outstanding form, emerging as the leading run-scorer in one-day internationals, bolstering the Indian batting lineup. Fans of the sport have grown fond of the dynamic opening partnership between Gill and Rohit Sharma.
