New Delhi, October 11 (Press Ki Taquat)
Recovering steadily from a bout of dengue fever, India opener Shubman Gill will be reaching Ahmedabad on Wednesday but still remains a doubtful starter for the marquee World Cup clash against Pakistan on Saturday.
Even as Gill reaches Ahmedabad later in the day, his teammates will be battling it out against Afghanistan at the Arun Jaitley Stadium here.
Gill has already missed the first two World Cup games — opener against Australia in Chennai and Wednesday’s game against Afghanistan.
It is understood that Gill, who is supremely fit, is expected to recover quicker compared to some of the others.
There is a school of thought that even if Gill is 70 per cent fit, he could be more effective than a flashy Ishan Kishan but a bout of dengue weakens the body considerably and it would only be fair to allow the right-hander to be 100 per cent fit before Bangladesh game.
