Indian cricketer Shubman Gill has tested positive for dengue, casting doubt on his availability for the World Cup opener against Australia on Sunday, October 8. The in-form opener missed a net session and is undergoing treatment, with the team monitoring his progress. A decision on his participation will be made after further tests on Friday. If Gill is unable to play, India must choose between Ishan Kishan and KL Rahul to partner captain Rohit Sharma. Gill's absence poses a setback, given his remarkable recent performances, including a double ton against New Zealand earlier this year and leading run-scorer titles in the IPL and Asia Cup.
