In Ahmedabad, Shubman Gill will join Men in Blue. It is still unclear whether he would play in the eagerly anticipated match between India and Pakistan at the 2017 ICC Cricket World Cup. The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad will host the game.
Shubman Gill stayed home from India’s second game in the ongoing competition after missing the team’s initial encounter against Australia. After spending the night in a hospital in Chennai, he was later released.
“Shubman Gill is in good health and will depart for Ahmedabad today from Chennai. There is still no word on whether Gill will train lightly at Motera on Thursday. His recovery has gone well, but it’s still unclear whether he will be ready to face Pakistan, a BCCI official was reported by ESPNCricinfo as saying.
Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma opened India’s batting in the match against Australia. When chasing a subpar 200 runs, the two-time champions were reduced to 2/3 as Kishan, Rohit, and Shreyas Iyer were all bowled for ducks. Virat Kohli and KL took the initiative for his team, though, and they successfully chased down the goal with 52 balls remaining.
It’s been out of his control, and this is the absolute worst time to miss matches: Manjrekar
Sanjay Manjrekkar, a former cricketer for India, voiced his sadness that Gill missed games in his first World Cup. Given their performance against the five-time champs, he said, the squad is better with or without him. However, he did acknowledge that Gill’s participation would strengthen the team and that missing games during a crucial tournament is the worst conceivable scenario.
“Shubman Gill just makes the team stronger, and with the form he’s been in, you want to cash in,” said the coach. It’s been out of his hands, and now is the very worst time to miss games,” Manjrekar had stated.
With 1230 runs at an average of 72.35 and a strike rate of 105.03 in ODIs so far this year, the batsman from Punjab is the highest run-scorer. In his last four 50-over contests, the 24-year-old has two centuries and a fifty.
