"shubman-gill"

After Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer takes the charge to drive India to a big total against Sri Lanka

After losing the early wicket of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill dominated Sri Lanka and made big scores but fall short of their centuries

Crowd at the Wankhede stadium, where the match was played, got stunned with Shubman's dismissal and among them was his alleged girlfriend, Sara Tendulkar.

Babar's lead at the top of the Rankings with 829 points has been reduced to just six rating points as Gill closed him with 823 points

He broke the record held by South African batsman Hashim Amla, who took 40 innings to make 2000 runs in ODIs.

Teams have found negotiating the middle overs a bit tough in this World Cup.

Indian captain Rohit Sharma said Shubman Gill, who missed the first two matches because of dengue, will play in place of Ishan Kishan

His 480 runs during the calendar month came at an average of 80, and a strike rate of 99.37.

Shubman Gill has already missed the first two games against Australia and Afghanistan but there is a high chance of him making it to the playing XI for the marquee clash against the arch-rivals

24-year-old Indian opener was in Chennai where he was being treated for dengue, and could not take part in India's first two matches of the tournament

The Indian team management, currently in Delhi for the match against Afghanistan continues monitoring Gill's health.

The ongoing ODI World Cup has already seen ten centuries across the opening eight matches which have shaken up the top end of the MRF Tyres ICC Men's ODI Batting Rankings.

With reports of his potential absence over an extended period of time, speculations of the team finding a replacement for him are now rife.

Shubman Gill has been discharged from a hospital in Chennai but the India opener will most likely miss the marquee World Cup clash against Pakistan

Shubman Gill and pacer Mohammed Siraj were among the stars nominated for the ICC Men's Player of the Month Award for September

Gill, who tested positive for dengue upon his arrival in Chennai last week has been down for the past week

BCCI released an official statement to announce Gill's absence from the next game as he will remain in Chennai under the supervision of the medical team.

As expected, India are playing a three-pronged spin attack in Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav and local lad Ravichandran Ashwin on a pitch which is a little bit on the slower side and looks dry.

Raina cited the WC opener between defending champions England and New Zealand at Ahmedabad as an example, where Kiwis chased down 283 set by England with nine wickets in hand.
