Team India will be without the services of Shubman Gill in their 2nd game of the ODI World Cup 2023 as well.
The BCCI confirmed on Monday that the opening batter is still recovering from dengue and will not travel with the team to Delhi for the game vs Afghanistan on Wednesday.
Gill, who missed India's opening game against Australia, will stay back in Chennai and will be under the supervision of the medical team.
Ishan Kishan is once again likely to be a part of the playing XI despite being out for a duck in the World Cup opener.
Fans will be praying for Gill's speedy recovery and hope that the in-form batter regains full fitness ahead of the all-important India vs Pakistan game on Saturday.
Physical recovery of dengue patients vary and it normally takes around 7-10 days to be up and match ready.
Gill is India's most prolific batter in ODIs and is the highest run-getter in the format in 2023. He has smashed 1230 runs at an average of over 72, including 5 hundreds and as many half-centuries. Gills strike rate of over 105 is also impressive.
