Shubman Gill has missed India’s first two ICC ODI World Cup matches and ahead of the hosts’ marquee clash against Pakistan, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma provided a major update on the opener’s availability.<\/p>\n
India is set to take on Pakistan at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Speaking during the pre-match press conference Rohit Sharma provided positive update on Gill’s availability for the big game.<\/p>\n
Asked whether Gill is fit to play India’s third match of the tournament, Rohit said, “99 per cent he (Gill) will play. We’ll see tomorrow (Saturday) about that.”<\/p>\n
The star batter missed the first two games due to illness. Gill arrived in Ahmedabad on Wednesday and also attended India’s training session on the eve of the match.<\/p>\n
The Indian opener was in Chennai where he was being treated, and could not take part in India’s first two matches of the tournament against Australia and Afghanistan.<\/p>\n
Due to the illness, Gill was hospitalised but batting coach Vikram Rathour said, “He was hospitalized, yes, but that was more as a precaution.” <\/p>\n
Both India and Pakistan will enter the tournament unbeaten. While India beat Australia and Afghanistan in their first two matches, Pakistan remained unbeaten with wins over Netherlands and Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n
The hosts enter the big game with an overwhelming 7-0 win record over Pakistan in 50-over World Cups. <\/p>\n
