In a concerning development ahead of their crucial tournament opener, the Indian cricket team has received an unfortunate setback. Shubman Gill, a key opener for the Indian side, has been diagnosed with dengue, casting a shadow of uncertainty over his availability for the much-anticipated clash against Australia.
Who will replace Shubman Gill in India vs Australia clash in ODI World Cup 2023
As both nations gear up for a high-stakes battle to kick off their campaign, Gill’s health condition has raised significant concerns and has left the team management assessing their options for a potential replacement. The Indian team, eager to start the ICC tournament on a winning note, is now faced with the challenge of reshuffling their lineup in the absence of the promising young opener.
Kishan or Rahul? Who will open with Rohit?
If Shubman Gill is unable to recover in time for the crucial tournament opener against Australia, the Indian team is actively considering their options for the opening partnership. A likely scenario involves Ishan Kishan stepping in to open alongside captain Rohit Sharma. Alternatively, KL Rahul, who recently made a comeback from injury during the Asia Cup, is also being considered as a strong contender for the opening slot.
Shubman Gill’s record in ODI
Shubman Gill, the leading run-scorer in ODIs this year, has been a key asset for the Indian team. His absence would certainly be felt, considering his impressive track record in the recent ODIs. Having amassed 1230 runs at an average of 72.35 and an impressive strike rate of 105.03 in ODIs this year, Gill’s absence could leave a significant void in the opening department. In his last four ODIs, Gill showcased his exceptional form by scoring two centuries and a half-century, two of which were against the upcoming opponents, Australia.
Kishan’s record in ODI
In the event of Gill’s unavailability, Ishan Kishan emerges as a promising option, displaying consistent performances with three half-centuries in five ODIs as an opener this year. Additionally, Kishan’s notable knock of 82 against Pakistan from No. 5 adds to his credentials. On the other hand, KL Rahul, with his experience and past success as an opener in ODIs, provides a strong alternative.
Rahul’s record in ODI
Rahul has opened 23 times, accumulating 915 runs at an average of 43.57, showcasing his capability at the top of the order. The Indian team’s management faces a critical decision in selecting the best candidate to fill Gill’s shoes and kick-start their World Cup campaign effectively.
