India’s troubles are not ending, Team India got a big shock before the IND-PAK match! Suryakumar Yadav increased tension
Abhishek Sharma fitness update: Team India’s path in the T20 World Cup 2026 does not seem easy. The tournament started with a win, but since then, injury and fitness concerns have been increasing in the Indian camp. Team India led by captain Suryakumar Yadav may face a big setback before the big match against Pakistan, which has increased the tension of the fans.
The suspense over the fitness of young opener Abhishek Sharma is increasing. After the first match against USA, he had stomach problems, due to which he had to be hospitalized. Now he remained out of the playing eleven in the match against Namibia also, which clearly indicates that it may take some time for his comeback.
Suryakumar Yadav’s statement increased concern
During the toss before the match against Namibia, captain Suryakumar Yadav gave a big update on the fitness of Abhishek Sharma. He clearly said, “Abhishek is still not completely well, he may miss one or two matches.”
This statement of Surya has increased the concern of both the fans and the team management, because it directly means that Abhishek may stay out of the big match against Pakistan. This match to be held in Colombo on 15th February is considered to be the most high-voltage match of the tournament.
Why is Abhishek Sharma important for India?
Abhishek Sharma has entered as India’s main opener in this T20 World Cup and his role in the team combination is very important. Even though he was out without opening an account on the very first ball in the match against USA, his aggressive batting is capable of giving a fast start to India.
His presence in the top order gives balance to the team and the responsibility of scoring fast runs in the powerplay also rests on his shoulders.
Record against Pakistan increases hope
Abhishek’s (Abhishek Sharma) record in the matches against Pakistan has been a news of relief for Team India. In the 2025 Asia Cup, he changed the course of the match by batting brilliantly against Pakistan’s bowlers. In such a situation, his importance as a big match player increases even more. For this reason, the team management also does not want to take any risk regarding his fitness and can decide to field him only after he is completely fit.
Way forward and impact on team combination
If Abhishek Sharma misses the match against Pakistan, Team India may have to make changes in the opening combination. This will also affect the balance of the batting order and captain Suryakumar Yadav will have to come on the field with a new strategy.
