India's red-ball skipper and T20I vice-captain, Shubman Gill, is expected to be fully fit in the coming week, ahead of the Asia Cup in September. Gill suffered from a viral flu, which reportedly forced him out of the Duleep Trophy.
Doubts were raised over Gill's condition after reports emerged that the batter was unwell. The physios reportedly examined Gill on August 22, and his health report was submitted to BCCI as he continued to rest and recover at his home in Chandigarh.
