Dengue fever, a mosquito-borne illness, has become a significant cause for concern in several parts of India, including Chennai, where Gill is currently under medical supervision. The BCCI’s medical team is closely monitoring his condition to ensure a full recovery. Gill, known for his promising talent and impressive performances, was expected to be a key player in India’s World Cup campaign and that’s why Indian fans are hoping to have him in the team as soon as possible in this World Cup.
