Abhishek Sharma’s stomach was upset

Abhishek Sharma could not play the last match against Namibia due to stomach infection. He was admitted to a hospital in Delhi, from where he was discharged just a day before the match. He has lost about 2 kg of weight during this illness, but his recovery has been excellent. Earlier, he had played a match against America despite fever.

What did the Pakistan captain say?

Interestingly, Pakistan captain Salman Ali Aga himself had expressed his desire for Abhishek Sharma to play. Aga had said, ‘I really hope that he (Abhishek) plays tomorrow, because we want to play against the strongest team of India. Hopefully he is recovering fast.

Suryakumar Yadav replied

When Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav was informed about this statement of the Pakistani captain, he smiled and quipped, ‘If Pakistan wants Abhishek Sharma to play, he will play.’

Abhishek can replace Sanju Samson

The final decision on Abhishek’s fitness will be taken on the day of the match, but the possibility of him playing is strong. If he comes into the playing eleven, Sanju Samson may have to sit out. Abhishek Sharma is currently the number-1 batsman in the T20 rankings. His aggressive game against spin bowlers can become a big problem for Pakistan.
