The World Cup has started on a strong note with the match between England and New Zealand. After this, Team India will play its first match against Australia on Sunday. Team India captain Rohit Sharma has started preparations for this. In such a situation, such news has come out which is increasing the concern of the fans of Team India. It is reported that opener Shubman Gill has fallen ill and will not be able to play in the match against Australia in Chennai. This has dealt a big blow to the Indian team even before the World Cup. After this, it is said that after Shubman fell ill before the match, Rohit changed his strategy.
According to a website, Team India's opener Shubman Gill is reported to be suffering from dengue. It is being told that the initial few tests have come positive and some more tests will be done. Sources are informing that the team management has said that after the second round of tests, a decision will be taken on whether Shubman will play or not. Team India will play its first match of the World Cup against Australia on Sunday. Therefore, if Shubman Gill does not play now then it is likely that it will be a big blow for the team.
Who is the alternative batsman?
If Shubman Gill is not available for the match against Australia on Sunday, then the news is that KL Rahul or Ishan Kishan will be given a chance in his place. Captain and opener Rohit Sharma will open the innings with Ishan Kishan. Apart from this, it is also being said that considering the situation, a decision can be taken to give KL Rahul a chance to start the innings. But now it is being said that the final decision on whether Shubman Gill will play or not will be taken by Saturday.
