Although Abhishek Sharma’s ability to play in India’s match against Pakistan in Colombo is dependent upon his recuperation from a stomach ailment, the daring opener traveled to the Sri Lankan venue with the squad on Friday, giving fans hope that he may make a comeback at the Premadasa on Sunday.
Despite being discharged from a private hospital in the nation’s capital, Abhishek did not play in India’s match against Namibia on Thursday in New Delhi. Before making a final decision, Abhishek’s fitness will be thoroughly evaluated during India’s net session on Saturday evening.
Prior to the Pakistan match, the parents of the India opener also traveled to Colombo. Rajkumar Sharma, who has been Abhishek’s coach since childhood, has always been there for him. The parents attended the Asia Cup in Dubai as well.
India will most likely either stick with Sanju Samson or even might bring in Washington Sundar, who is fit again, to open alongside Ishan Kishan if Abhishek is still unavailable for the marquee clash against Pakistan on Sunday.
