Cricket fans are watching closely as India’s opening batsman, Abhishek Sharma, struggles to recover from a stomach infection, putting his participation in the high-profile T20 World Cup clash against Pakistan on Sunday in doubt.
According to Indian media reports, Sharma fell ill following a net session on 6 February in Mumbai, when certain food items upset his stomach. Although he played in the following match against the United States, his performance was visibly affected—he was dismissed on the very first ball, unable to leave an impact for his team.
The illness has raised concerns among the Indian camp, as Sharma has been a key part of the team’s opening strategy. Coaches and medical staff are reportedly monitoring his recovery closely, with the decision on whether he will feature against Pakistan to be finalized closer to match time.
Fans and analysts have expressed sympathy for the young opener, highlighting how sudden illnesses can affect even the most prepared players in crucial tournaments. The upcoming India-Pakistan encounter, one of the most anticipated matches of the T20 World Cup, will therefore see close attention not only on team strategy but also on the fitness of key players like Sharma.
Sharma’s condition serves as a reminder of the unpredictable challenges players face in high-stakes cricket, and supporters are hopeful that he will recover in time to contribute to India’s campaign in the tournament.
