Abhishek Sharma Admitted Ahead of Namibia Game
India’s T20 World Cup campaign may face a setback as opener Abhishek Sharma has reportedly been hospitalised ahead of the team’s upcoming match against Namibia.
According to reports, the left-handed batter has been admitted to a private hospital in New Delhi after suffering from a stomach infection. His condition is said to have worsened over the past few days, leading to medical supervision and treatment.
Availability in Doubt
The report suggests that Abhishek has been under observation and undergoing tests. While there is no official confirmation yet from the BCCI regarding his participation, his availability for the Namibia clash remains uncertain.
The timing is crucial for Team India as the group-stage fixture could play an important role in shaping their path in the T20 World Cup 2026.
Possible Impact on Team Combination
If Abhishek Sharma is ruled out, the team management may have to rethink their opening combination. The 25-year-old has been an aggressive option at the top of the order, providing quick starts in the powerplay.
An official update on his fitness is expected closer to match day.
For now, India will be hoping the opener recovers in time to feature in the important group encounter.
