1 of 1

New Delhi. After recovering from dengue, India’s young opening batsman Shubman Gill has reached Ahmedabad from Chennai. However, it is still not clear whether he will be a part of the playing-11 against Pakistan or not.

Shubman Gill was ruled out of India’s first two matches due to dengue fever. In his place, left-handed wicketkeeper-batsman Ishan Kishan opened the innings along with captain Rohit Sharma.

According to Cricbuzz report, Tamil Nadu Cricket Association (TNCA) officials said that the doctors at the hospital said that Gill is now better than before. Shubman could not go to Delhi with the team as he was not completely fit and his platelets had reduced due to dengue.

But now he is better than before and can join the team. Gill has been an important part of India’s ODI cricket team for more than one and a half years.

He is the highest run scorer in this format this year. He has scored 1230 runs at an average of 72.35 and strike rate of 105.03, which includes two centuries and as many fifties, in his last four ODIs.

After winning two consecutive matches, India is all set to face Pakistan at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Saturday.
