'Gill will be travelling to Ahmedabad from Chennai today in a commercial flight' - Indian Cricket Board source
A source said, "Gill will be travelling to Ahmedabad from Chennai today in a commercial flight. He will continue with recovery and rest there, under the watch of the Indian Cricket Board medical team. Shubman Gill will be given all the time to recover and regain match fitness. There is no thought of seeking or discussing replacements at this stage as the management considers him a vital cog in the setup. Gill is already showing positive signs and is likely to make a return soon."
The source further added, "Look at what Australia are doing with Travis Head. He is injured but they haven't ruled him out or sought a replacement. Every chance right now is given to Head to make that return. India too are likely to follow a similar approach when it comes to Gill. He has been one of the most consistent performers in the last year or so."
