Things aren't bright for Team India star opener Shubman Gill. Having missed India's CWC 2023 opener versus Australia, due to dengue, the batter remained in Chennai as Rohit Sharma &amp; Co. reached New Delhi on Monday (Oct&nbsp;9) for their upcoming clash versus Afghanistan on Wednesday (Oct 11).

It is to be noted that Gill was hospitalised in Chennai after his platelet count dropped. The young batter was&nbsp;discharged&nbsp;on Tuesday&nbsp;morning (Oct&nbsp;10),&nbsp;as per the news agency&nbsp;PTI.

On Monday, the&nbsp;Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed that Gill is closely being monitored by the&nbsp;medical team but remains&nbsp;out of the Afghanistan clash.

"Team India batter Shubman Gill will not be travelling with the team to Delhi on 9th October 2023. The opening batter who missed the team’s first fixture in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 against Australia in Chennai is set to miss the team’s next fixture against Afghanistan in Delhi on the 11th of October."

"He will stay back in Chennai and will be under the supervision of the medical team," read the statement from BCCI.

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 121&nbsp;versus 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 (Oct&nbsp;8). Virat Kohli (85) and KL Rahul (97 not out) ensured India went past the finish line with six wickets&nbsp;and 52 balls to spare in Chennai.

Given Gill's condition, he is ruled out of the upcoming India-Pakistan clash&nbsp;on October 14&nbsp;in Ahmedabad. An official announcement can be expected in the coming days.

CWC 2023: India batter Shubman Gill discharged from Chennai hospital, unlikely to play vs Pakistan - Report

Usman Khawaja continued to pile runs on Day 2 of the fourth and final Test between India and Australia in Ahmedabad on Friday (March 10). After opting to bat first on Day 1, Australia ended at 255 for 4 with Khawaja being unbeaten on 104. He continued from there on and ended with a sublime 180 -- highest individual score by a batter in ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy -- to take his side past the 400-run mark. In addition, he achieved a historic feat of becoming only the second Aussie Test opener in ths 21st century with 150-plus score on Indian soil.

Khawaja joined Matthew Hayden, former Aussie legend, to become the second Australian with a 150-plus score in India. Before the duo, Jim Bruke and Graham Yallop had attained the historic feat in 1956 and 1979, respectively.&nbsp;

Jim Burke - 161 in Brabourne in 1956 
Graham Yallop - 167 at Eden Gardens in 1979

During the lunch break on Day 2, Hayden lauded Khawaja and said he should have played 100 Tests by now for the Baggy Greens. He also compared him with Mark Waugh. The former opener told on-air, "Usman Khawaja should be in that 100 Test match category. He’s played 59 Test matches, I reckon that he is 40 short of what it should have been, and that is due to his underwhelming body language. He is similar to someone like Mark Waugh. He was so stylish that the word ‘soft’ was invented. He was so sharp and good, just like Khawaja."

Hayden added, "He is an individual who bides his time and is a proper opening batter, he is a proper left-hander as well, he plays shots off his pads, waist back in the crease, and plays effortlessly through the covers."

Khawaja and Cameron Green (114) had already put on an unbeaten 85-run fifth-wicket stand at stumps on Day 1. They dominated proceedings on Friday (March 10) and eventually added a mammoth 208-run stand. The pair's impressive stand have taken Australia well past the 450-run mark with two wickets still in hand.

India lead the four-match series 2-1.
