Srinagar: In another setback for Team India, the young batter Shubman Gill has been hospitalised in Chennai due to low platelet count.
According to the report in Cricbuzz, Shubman Gill has been admitted in Chennai’s Kaveri hospital.
The report in Cricbuzz said that Gill’s low platelet count has raised concerns, prompting medical experts to recommend treatment and discourage air travel. BCCI’s own physician, Dr. Rizwan Khan, is currently attending to Gill in Chennai.
Gill landed in Chennai with the rest of the Indian team but has been absent since October 4, the day prior to India’s World Cup opener.
Another report has now said that Gill has been discharged from the hospital after treatment.
The thing with dengue is that although the fever might subside and the platelet count may improve, the weakness takes time to leave the body.
So even if Gill’s condition improves and the batter is discharged, he may join the team in Ahmedabad. However, whether he will be match-fit is another case altogether.
Even if Gill was to reach Ahmedabad on the 12th or the 13th, he would have not undergone a single practice session. If this is the case, it is unlikely that the BCCI would want to rush him back.
