Meanwhile, Gill, who was out of the final Test and the ODI series due to a neck injury has 'totally recovered'. 

India head coach Gautam Gambhir has confirmed that Gill has recovered and is ready to start. 

“Yes, Shubman is ready to start. That’s why he has been selected. He is fit, fine, and hungry to go," Gambhir said.

Gill was truly missed in the two-match Test series in which India faced a humiliating whitewash. 

Gill Back For T20Is

Gill's return in the shortest format will be ideal from his point of view. Gill's return in T20Is would be a perfect stage to ease back into rhythm while also strengthening India’s top-order stability. Gill would play an important role in the World Cup as he will bring all his experience to the table. The best part about Gill is that he has the capability of playing as per the requirement of the situation.
