Rohit Sharma hinted at a potential return of Shubman Gill for India’s highly-anticipated ICC World Cup 2023 match against Pakistan. Indian captain also dismissed the talk of home advantage and said that both teams will enter the game as favourites having won the opening two respective matches in the tournament.

Speaking in the pre-match press conference in Ahmedabad on Friday, Rohit revealed that Gill is 99% available for the Pakistan game. Gill, India’s top-ranked ODI batter, missed the opening two games due to dengue fever and his potential inclusion will be a big boost for the Men in Blue in the crucial game.

“99% Shubman Gill is available for selection tomorrow,” Rohit said. “I don’t believe in psychological advantages. What happened in the past, is past. Both teams will start as favourites, both are equally better. We need to do well and carrying the momentum forward is important.”

India World Cup Squad: Rohit Sharma (c), Ishan Kishan, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wk), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Shubman Gill, Ravichandran Ashwin, Mohammed Shami, Suryakumar Yadav
