Shubman Gill has dengue fever and is questionable for India's match against Australia.

Shubman Gill's availability for India's ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 opener against Australia has been called into question. 

According to PTI, Gill, who came in Chennai with Team India on Wednesday morning, has been diagnosed with 'Dengue' and is being treated.

The great player skipped India's training session on Thursday and will be tested today by the BCCI medical panel. Gill's availability for the October 8 match at Chepauk will be determined only after testing.

The 24-year-old has been in excellent form for India in One-Day cricket this year, scoring 1,230 runs and seven hundreds. 

After a dry spell following the hugely successful Indian Premier League 2023, Gill rediscovered his form in the Asia Cup 2023 and extended his fantasy run in three ODIs against Australia.

The Gujarat Titans player made 890 runs in the IPL 2023 and finished with 302 runs in India's victory in the Asia Cup. 

If Gill is ruled out, India would bat first with either Ishan Kishan or KL Rahul, with the Mumbai Indians player having the edge over the Lucknow Super Giants skipper.

Rahul's recent record in the middle order has been spectacular, and he has been in fantastic form since returning from injury. 

Both warm-ups against England and the Netherlands were canceled due to rain, thus Rohit Sharma and company will enter the tournament opener against Australia with no game experience.
