Will Gill make a comeback against Pakistan? Captain Rohit Sharma showed the green signal

IND vs PAK: Preparations for the World Cup 2023 match between India and Pakistan have been completed. Both the teams will face each other at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Saturday 14th October. Before this match, the biggest tension for Team India has been the fitness of young opener Shubman Gill, who was affected by dengue even before the start of the tournament. Now, just before the match against Pakistan, Team India has got a big relief because Gill is almost fit before this match. In the press conference in Ahmedabad, Rohit said that Gill is 99 percent available.

Shubman Gill had dengue even before the start of Team India's World Cup campaign. Due to this, he was also admitted to the hospital in Chennai. Gill did not come to Delhi with Team India for the second match and then reached Ahmedabad directly. Since then, Gill's fitness was improving. Even before Team India reached Ahmedabad, Gill had practiced batting in the nets for about an hour on Thursday, 12 October. Since then, the expectations of Team India and the fans had increased.

Gill is available for selection

Now captain Rohit Sharma has confirmed these expectations. In the press conference a day before the match, the captain smiled when asked about Gill's fitness and said that he is available for selection. Rohit said that Gill is 99 percent available for selection. The return of Shubman Gill will give strength to Team India. Gill had batted brilliantly in the last match of Asia Cup against Pakistan and gave a good start to Team India by scoring a strong half-century.

Team India will make more changes

If Gill plays then Ishan Kishan will have to sit out. Ishan had opened in both the last matches and scored 47 runs. In the very first match against Australia, he was out after playing just one ball. His bat definitely worked against Afghanistan and he was out after scoring 47 runs.

Well, not only Ishan Kishan, but at least one more change is certain to happen. On the question of playing eleven, Rohit said that there will be at least one or two changes and he has already told the players about this. Although Rohit did not tell which player would be included in the team, he definitely gave a hint that if needed, the team can field with 3 spinners.

Why is Ahmedabad Gill important?

It is very important for Gill to be in the playing 11 of Team India in the match between India and Pakistan. Gill's record in Ahmedabad is quite excellent. Although he has played only T20 matches on this ground, Gill's bat is on fire here. He has scored three T20 centuries on this ground. Out of which he scored two centuries during IPL. Gill has been in very good form for some time now. In such a situation, it is enough for Gill to be playing for Team India in the important match against Pakistan. Gill's record against Pakistan is also quite good. Gill is the highest run-scorer worldwide in ODIs this year with 1230 runs at an average of 72.35 and strike rate of 105.03. In his last four ODI matches, he has scored two centuries and one half-century.
