Shubman Gill to miss India’s match against Afghanistan

Star India opener Shubman Gill will miss the side’s second clash against Afghanistan in the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup on October 11 at the Arun Jaitely Stadium in Delhi and will not travel with the team to the ground. India’s batting sensation will stay back in Chennai under medical supervision and has no plans to return to his hometown for rest.

Gill has been recovering from dengue fever since he reached Chennai. The 24-year-old is progressing well but missed India’s opening match against Australia at Chepauk, which they won by six wickets.

“Team India batter Shubman Gill will not be travelling with the team to Delhi on 9th October 2023. The opening batter who missed the team’s first fixture in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 against Australia in Chennai is set to miss the team’s next fixture against Afghanistan in Delhi on the 11th of October. He will stay back in Chennai and will be under the supervision of the medical team,” the BCCI said in it’s official press release.
