Team India faces a significant injury scare ahead of their high-stakes T20 World Cup clash against Pakistan on 15 February. Opening batter Abhishek Sharma was admitted to a hospital in Delhi on Monday after suffering from a severe stomach infection or flu. While an official update from the BCCI is still awaited, reports suggest he was unwell even before the tournament opener against the USA. In his absence, Sanju Samson has been seen hitting the nets during training sessions and is expected to take over the opening responsibilities. The team’s assistant coach, Riyan Tendulkar, confirmed that the player is currently recovering, though he did not explicitly mention the hospitalisation during his briefing. With the crucial Pakistan match approaching, the team management is closely monitoring the situation. If the opener fails to recover in time for the upcoming fixtures, including the game against Namibia, Samson will likely partner Ishan Kishan at the top of the order.
