ODI World Cup 2023: The World Cup for India is starting from today, because India’s first match is going to start against Australia today itself, but before that, Team India has got a big shock. As was expected for the last few days, Shubman Gill will not be able to play in the first ODI against Australia due to dengue. Now this has been officially announced. Shubman Gill has been ruled out of the first match of the World Cup due to dengue fever.
Last Thursday evening, news came about Shubman Gill that he has been suffering from dengue. Since then, the medical team of Team India had kept an eye on Gill’s health. However, Gill did not come to the field to practice on Friday and Saturday as he was advised to take rest. According to reports, Gill was not feeling very unwell, but still it has been decided to give him rest.
Who will open in place of Gill?
In the pre-match press conference before the first World Cup match against Australia, Team India captain Rohit Sharma had said about Shubman Gill that he is currently under the observation of the medical team, and it is not known whether he will play or not. The decision will be taken before the start of the match. Now finally Gill is out of the first match of this biggest ODI tournament. In such a situation, the question arises that who will open the batting with captain Rohit Sharma?
India’s current team has two opening batsman options in the form of Ishan Kishan and KL Rahul, but since KL Rahul is batting very well in the middle order, and Ishan always likes to open, there is no need for this option. There is a possibility that in this match against Australia, only Ishan Kishan will take the field along with Rohit Sharma.
