Gill, who tested positive for dengue upon his arrival in Chennai last week has been down for the past week and will also miss India's second game against Afghanistan on Wednesday. "Shubman Gill was on drip at the Chennai team hotel for the last couple of days.

He was admitted for all mandatory tests on Sunday night when India played Australia but by Monday evening was released," a BCCI source told PTI on conditions of anonymity.

World Cup 2023: Chennai's pitch was a Test match wicket - Ravindra Jadeja

Armed by the knowledge stemming from his over-decade long association with Chennai Super Kings, Ravindra Jadeja said he stuck to a stump-to-stump line against Australia on the Chepauk pitch that was a typical "Test match strip" during their World Cup opener here on Sunday.

Asked about his plan on a track where the ball turned and gripped, Jadeja said: The way I started the first over, the ball was stopping after it pitched. The wicket looked dry in the afternoon when it was hot. I thought the stump line would be good as some balls would dart in while some would turn. So, it won't be easy for the batsman. While a couple of balls stayed straight, the one that got Smith turned appreciably. My plan was to bowl on the stump and luckily the ball to Smith turned more. I thought this was a typical T
