In the absence of Shubman Gill, the opening slot for India in the first two matches of the flagship tournament was taken by the left-handed wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan. The 25-year-old was dismissed for a golden duck against Australia in his first outing of the ODI World Cup 2023 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai before he scored a run-a-ball 47 against Afghanistan at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.
The video of the arrival of Shubman Gill in the city of Ahmedabad, in a mask while being flanked by a whole host of security personnel at the airport, has gone viral on social media. It was shared by one of the well-known personalities on Cricket Twitter, who goes by the name of Mufaddal Vohra, with the excerpts of the caption reading, “Hope we get to see Gill soon in action…”

Earlier, a BCCI official talked about the status of Shubman Gill to PTI, in the aftermath of his dengue fever. They were quoted as saying, “Gill is doing absolutely fine and is set to leave Chennai for Ahmedabad today. It is still not clear whether Gill will have a light training session at Motera on Thursday. His recovery has been fine but can't really be sure if he can play against Pakistan.”
