Things aren’t bright for Team India star opener Shubman Gill. Having missed India’s CWC 2023 opener, versus Australia, due to dengue, the batter remained in Chennai as Rohit Sharma & Co. reached New Delhi on Monday (October 9) for their upcoming clash versus Afghanistan on Wednesday (October 11). Now, Gill has been hospitalised in a Chennai hospital as his platelet has dropped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Shubman Gill’s platelet has dropped and he has been admitted to a hospital Chennai as a precautionary measure. BCCI’s medical team is also monitoring him,” sources told India Today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earlier on Monday, the\u00a0Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed that Gill remains in Chennai with the medical team monitoring him closely.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Team India batter Shubman Gill will not be travelling with the team to Delhi on 9th October 2023. The opening batter who missed the team\u2019s first fixture in the ICC Men\u2019s Cricket World Cup 2023 against Australia in Chennai is set to miss the team\u2019s next fixture against Afghanistan in Delhi on the 11th of October.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“He will stay back in Chennai and will be under the supervision of the medical team,” read the statement from BCCI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gill’s absence is a huge blow for Team India. The 24-year-old has been in exceptional form for the last one year, especially in ODIs. In 2023, he has been on a run-scoring spree and has five centuries in the ODI format. Gill was in fine form in Asia Cup, with a sublime 121 versus Bangladesh, and ended as the Player-of-the-Series award in India’s 2-1 win over Australia in three home ODIs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In his absence, India were tottering at 2 for 3 in pursuit of 200 versus the Aussies in match 5 of CWC 2023 on Sunday (October 8) in Chennai. Virat Kohli (85) and KL Rahul (97 not out) ensured India went past the finish line with six wickets and 52 balls to spare.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
