The right-handed batsman arrived in Ahmedabad after being discharged from hospital. However, his selection in the IND vs PAK match is not yet confirmed. Since Gill has started batting in the nets, he might be picked in the clash against Pakistan.
Ishan Kishan, who opened the innings with Rohit Sharma in the absence of Shubman Gill, gave a flop show in the opening match against Australia. He got out for a duck in the match. In the next encounter, he showed a better performance hitting 47 runs against Afghanistan.
Meanwhile, India have won both of their games in the ICC World Cup 2023. India crushed Australia by 6 wickets in the opening match. Later, they outplayed Afghanistan by 8 wickets in the next match. Now, they take on Pakistan in their upcoming match.
