An important update on Shubman Gill‘s availability for India’s opening match against Australia on October 8 has been issued by head coach Rahul Dravid. The MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai will host the match between the two victorious teams.
Since arriving in Chennai, the gifted young hitter has been suffering a sickness, though Rahul Dravid stated that he has not yet been ruled out of the upcoming game. The 24-year-old will be regularly observed by the medical staff, the former cricketer stated.
Certainly, he feels better today. The medical staff keeps an eye on you every day. We’ll wait to see what they decide after the next 36 hours. Without a doubt, he feels better today. The medical staff hasn’t yet ruled him out, Dravid added. We’ll continue daily checking in on him. The day after tomorrow, we’ll see how he feels,” Dravid was reported as saying by the ICC.
For India, Gill will be a vital player at the 2023 World Cup.
One of India’s best batters in the current batting order is Shubman Gill. The cricketer from Punjab, who made his international debut in an away ODI series against New Zealand in January 2019, has proven himself to be a force in all game types.
The Men in Blue’s recent three-match ODI series against Australia at home depended on the 24-year-old. He participated in just the first two games, but he had outstanding knocks of 74 and 104, respectively. It should be noted that although India won both games to win the series, they lost the decider.
Gill performed admirably with the bat throughout India’s title-winning Asia Cup 2023 campaign before to this ODI series. With 302 runs in six games, an average of 75.50 runs per game, and a strike rate of 93.49, he finished the tournament as the top run scorer. He got two fifty-sixes and a century in the Continental championship. He has totaled 1917 ODI runs in 35 games, scoring them at an average of 66.10 and a 102.84 strike rate.
