Gill discharged from hospital but likely to miss match against Pakistan

Recovering from a bout of dengue fever, Shubman Gill has been discharged from a hospital in Chennai but the India opener will most likely miss the marquee World Cup clash against Pakistan on Saturday in Ahmedabad.
Gill had to be admitted to a hospital on Sunday night after his platelet count dropped below one lakh.
It has been learnt that Gill was admitted to well-known multi-care speciality hospital ‘Kauvery’ and the Indian team’s doctor Rizwan monitored his progress. (PTI)
He had tested positive for the vial infection upon his arrival in Chennai last week and ended up missing Indian team’s World Cup opener against Australia on October 8.
Gill is also set to miss Wednesday’s game against Afghanistan in Delhi. He is required to rest for at least one more week and that effectively rules him out of match against Pakistan. He might miss the match against Bangladesh in Pune on October 19.
