How important is playing in Ahmedabad for Shubman Gill? If they play, Pakistan’s sleep will fly away

• Indian team’s victorious journey in World Cup 2023 continues
• Defeated Australia in the first match and Afghanistan in the second match
• India will now face Pakistan in the biggest match of this World Cup

The victorious journey of the Indian team in World Cup 2023 continues. After defeating Australia in their first match of the league round and Afghanistan in the second match, Team India will now face Pakistan in the biggest match of this World Cup. The match will be played on October 14 at Narendra Modi Stadium, the world’s largest cricket stadium in Ahmedabad. From broadcasters to fans, everyone is eagerly waiting for this great match. The morale of the Indian team is high after winning the match under pressure against Australia in their first match of the World Cup. The top order, which failed against Australia, made a brilliant comeback against Afghanistan. Rohit Sharma scored a century, while Ishan also scored a valuable 47 runs.

Shubman reached Ahmedabad, started batting practice

However, Ishan was not seen in touch in both the matches. He got the chance to open in both these matches as Shubman Gill is out of the team due to dengue. He was very sick and could not play, but now he is slowly getting fit. However, it is necessary for him to play in the match against Pakistan and for this he has also reached Ahmedabad. Shubham has also started preparations. However, there is no confirmation whether he will be able to play or not. If Shubman plays in Ahmedabad, he can give Pakistan sleepless nights as his record in Motera has been very good. If he plays, it can prove to be a confidence-boosting decision for Team India as well.
