Shubman Gill’s probable absence from the forthcoming match against Pakistan will be a major loss for Team India during the current ODI World Cup 2023. According to several reports in the press, Gill has been admitted to a hospital in Chennai so is unable to go to Delhi with the team.
Additionally, rumours claim that Yashasvi Jaiswal or Ruturaj Gaikwad are being evaluated as backup candidates. It will be fascinating to watch whether the management chooses to replace Gill. Leading medical professionals frequently check on the India opener. Additionally, according to a study, his platelet count fell under 100,000.
Since he still is down with fever, Gill will not be going to Delhi with the team, according to the reports of Indian Cricket Board. He was sent to a hospital in Chennai after allegedly complaining of weariness, and doctors have ordered him to rest for 48 hours until another evaluation is conducted on Thursday.
The selection board is expected to provide the alternatives of Yashasvi Jaiswal as well as Ruturaj Gaikwad to travel alongside the squad should the team management requests an alternate for Shubman Gill. According to the article, Gill’s recovery might take longer than a week.

The Men in Blue will suffer greatly from Shuman Gill’s absence. This is due to the sort of form he has been in 2023, especially in ODIs. The hosts nearly paid an enormous cost for Gill’s absence when his substitute in the starting lineup, Ishan Kishan, went off for the golden duck versus Australia in the opening game.
While Gill is getting fit for the fourth game, which will be versus Bangladesh in Pune on October 19. It is one possible goal, the right handed batter will be watched closely. This is due to the fact that even if dengue fever may go away, the weakness may linger and further postpone his recovery.
Fans react as Ruturaj Gaikwad and Yashasvi Jaiswal might be called as replacements for Shubman Gill in ODI World Cup 2023:

If they include Ravi Ashwin in emergency why not they include Shikhar. Doesn't they need experience this time as they said the same for Ashwin. pic.twitter.com/dC8xoDtzsE

Ffs stop getting hurried up imo it is just 1 game in the world cup and after game vs Pakistan there are so many games too for India abd I m sure Gill would play in those games and stip calling for replacements early

If there is a need for a cover up, it should be Jaiswal. Left right combo at the top and he has opened recently with Rohit.
Rutu hasn't done badly either. However, Jaiswal being a left hander holds the edge.

Jaiswal please , Enough of Gaikwad because we have so many right handers already.

Ruturaj Gaikwad is in good form

@BCCI should include @SDhawan25 as a 1st choice. His experience and left hand batting ability will be advantageous for #TeamIndia
