It has been reported that Shubman Gill has tested positive for dengue, casting doubt on his availability for Sunday’s opening World Cup game against Australia. This news is unfortunate for Gill and the Indian team. We will have to wait and see how his recovery progresses and whether he will be able to participate in the match.

The Indian team management is closely monitoring Shubman Gill’s progress and is expected to make a decision on his availability after conducting another round of tests on Friday. It is crucial for the management to prioritize the player’s health and well-being before making any decisions regarding his participation in the match against Australia. We’ll have to wait for the test results to determine whether he will be able to play.

Indian cricketer Shubman Gill is likely to miss the first World Cup game against Australia due to testing positive for dengue. Indian team management is monitoring his progress and will decide his availability after another round of tests. India will consider Ishan Kishan or KL Rahul for the start of the innings.

Gill, a consistent Indian Premier League and Asia Cup batting leader, scored a double ton against New Zealand, with impressive scores in recent innings.

Indeed, the lead-up to the World Cup has seen some uncertainty for the Indian team, as several key players have made their comebacks after injuries. The return of Jasprit Bumrah, KL Rahul, and Shreyas Iyer after their respective lay-offs adds an element of unpredictability to the team’s preparations. Additionally, spinner Axar Patel’s injury during the Asia Cup led to his replacement by Ravichandran Ashwin in the World Cup squad. These circumstances have undoubtedly required the team management to make necessary adjustments and decisions to ensure the best possible lineup for the tournament.
