T20 WC: Abhishek Sharma Will Play Against Pakistan, Says Suryakumar Yadav
Opener Abhishek Sharma: India skipper Suryakumar Yadav on Saturday confirmed that opener Abhishek Sharma, who missed the second match of the T20 World Cup 2026 against Namibia, is “fit to play” and will feature against the arch-rivals Pakistan in the crucial Group A clash at the R. Premadasa Stadium.
Abhishek was admitted to a private hospital in New Delhi on Monday due to a stomach infection, which he picked up during the clash against the USA at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. In Abhishek's absence, Sanju Samson opened against Namibia at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, scoring a brisk 22 off eight balls, and could reprise the role if needed.
Asked whether Abhishek will play on Sunday, Suryakumar said at the pre-match press conference, “Yes, he will play. There's always pressure. With India-Pakistan, it's more of an occasion. No matter how much we say it's just any other game, it's a human tendency to be under pressure because it is not any other game. We don't play them often either. So the pressure is always there."
