Bhogle to miss Indo-Pak clash due to dengue, Gill in race to recover

Famous cricket commentator Harsha Bhogle has been diagnosed with dengue and will miss the highly anticipated India versus Pakistan World Cup clash on October 14.

Bhogle expressed disappointment in a post on X, citing dengue-related weakness and lowered immunity as the reasons.

"I am disappointed at having to miss out on #IndiavsPak on the 14th. But I have dengue and the resultant weakness, and lowered immunity, will make it impossible. I am hoping to be back in time for the game on the 19th. My colleagues, and the broadcast crew, have been very helpful (and took on the extra workload during the second half of #IndiaVsAus) and I look forward to saying thank you to them in person," Bhogle posted on X.

Meanwhile, Shubman Gill, who recently recovered from dengue, has arrived in Ahmedabad and was seen practicing in the nets on Thursday.

However, it remains uncertain if he will participate in the crucial World Cup match against Pakistan. 

Gill had missed the initial World Cup games against Australia and Afghanistan due to his illness.
