The Indian cricket team’s preparations for their ODI Cricket World Cup match against Australia have encountered a setback due to the health issues faced by star batter Shubman Gill. Gill, who has been in good form in ODIs, may not be able to participate in Sunday’s match due to a high fever. The BCCI has expressed concern about Gill’s condition since he arrived in Chennai. Medical tests are currently being conducted to determine the cause of his fever, and dengue is being considered as a possible factor. The team and fans will be anxiously awaiting updates on Gill’s health as they prepare for this crucial match.

Shubman Gill was notably absent from the optional training session during the team’s intensive training session at Chepauk on Thursday. The opener is currently sick, but team management believes he will recover in time for the forthcoming games. His absence from the training session puts doubt on his availability for the pivotal encounter against Australia.

The squad will keep a tight eye on his health and hope for a quick recovery. Several members of the Indian cricket team had extensive practice sessions. Hardik Pandya, Virat Kohli, and Shreyas Iyer spent considerable time in the nets, honing their skills. Off-spinner R Ashwin also had an extended bowling session. Rohit Sharma was among the early batters in the nets, accompanied by Ishan Kishan, who could potentially step in if Shubman Gill is unavailable for the match against Australia on Sunday. 

India is set to face Australia in their opening match of the World Cup at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Sunday, and they are eager to start the tournament with a victory. However, Shubman Gill’s health has become a concern for the team management. Gill has been in outstanding form this year, scoring over 1,200 runs in the format, and his absence would be a significant loss for the team.
