India are on a winning run in T20 World Cup 2026. But ahead of the high-voltage clash against Pakistan on February 15 in Colombo, one big question remains, will Abhishek Sharma play?
According to reports, Abhishek was admitted to a New Delhi hospital due to acute gastroenteritis and dehydration and lost nearly 2 kg after suffering from high fever and weakness
Spinner Varun Chakravarthy shared an optimistic update, saying Abhishek has resumed light practice and “has a chance to play” against Pakistan
However, skipper Suryakumar Yadav sounded careful at the Namibia toss, saying Abhishek is “still not fine” and may need a game or two to regain full fitness
In Abhishek’s absence vs Namibia, Sanju Samson opened alongside Ishan Kishan and smashed 22 off just 8 balls. He could continue if Abhishek isn’t 100% fit
A final call on Abhishek’s availability will likely be taken after India’s training session in Colombo. With Super 8 qualification on the line, the stakes couldn’t be higher
