Gill's absence is a huge blow for Team India. The 24-year-old has been in exceptional form for the last year, especially in ODIs. In 2023, he has been on a run-scoring spree and has five centuries in the ODI format. Gill was in fine form in the Asia Cup, with a sublime 121versus Bangladesh, and ended with the Player-of-the-Series award in India's 2-1 win over Australia in three home ODIs before the World Cup.
In his absence, India were tottering at 2 for 3 in pursuit of 200 versus the Aussies in match 5 of CWC 2023 on Sunday (Oct8). Virat Kohli (85) and KL Rahul (97 not out) ensured India went past the finish line with six wicketsand 52 balls to spare in Chennai.
Given Gill's condition, he is ruled out of the upcoming India-Pakistan clashon October 14in Ahmedabad. An official announcement can be expected in the coming days.
