Shubman Gill Will Not Play Against Pakistan, Feels Aakash Chopra

Shubman Gill has reached Ahmedabad ahead of the IND vs PAK match. However, former India opener Aakash Chopra feels that he will not be part of the team in the clash against Pakistan.

“Shubman Gill is travelling to Ahmedabad, even though you and I don’t know the platelet count. Since he is going, we are hoping that he is getting close to becoming fit. I am hoping, but I don’t think he will play the Pakistan match. I feel he will still take rest because dengue is a bit of an issue. It takes time to recover and come back. So he might not be available for this match.,” Chopra said.

Chopra also said that it would have been enjoyable if Shubman Gill had played in Ahmedabad because he likes the venue a lot.

“The good news is that he is no longer in hospital and is travelling as well. So things are looking a little better. If he had played in Ahmedabad, it would have been enjoyable because Gill likes Ahmedabad a lot”, the 45-year-old further added.

Ishan Kishan got out for a duck as an opener in the opening game but did a better job in the previous game, hitting 47 runs. India has won both of their two games in ICC World Cup 2023.
