Will 2 veteran players not be able to play against Pakistan, why Suryakumar Yadav-Gautam Gambhir’s tension increased?

India vs Pakistan Match 15 February 2026 T20 World Cup: Team India, which made a great start in the ICC T20 Men’s World Cup 2026, will face Namibia on Thursday (February 12, 2026). Even before the second match of World Cup 2026, bad news has come out for Team India. Two players of Team India are ill, due to which Suryakumar Yadav and coach Gautam Gambhir are in big trouble regarding the playing-11. The match is against a weak team Namibia, so there is nothing to worry about. It is being told that opener Abhishek Sharma, who has been performing consistently in T-20, has been admitted to the hospital due to stomach infection, where he is undergoing treatment. According to sources, even if he recovers from the illness, it will be difficult for him to play in this match due to weakness. At the same time, Team India’s fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is also not completely fit yet. He had fever about a week ago. It is being told that he has recovered from the illness, but due to weakness, BCCI management, captain Suryakumar Yadav and coach Gautam Gambhir cannot take the risk of playing Jasprit Bumrah.

What will happen if we are not able to play even against Pakistan?

Harshit Rana due to injury and Jasprit Bumrah due to illness have increased the problems of Team India. Now opener Abhishek Sharma has been admitted to the hospital due to stomach infection. It has also been decided that Abhishek Sharma will not be able to play in the match against Namibia to be held in Delhi. Experts say that India will have no problem in winning against a weak team like Namibia. But if Jasprit Bumrah and Abhishek Sharma are not fit even by 15th February, problems may increase.

Both players will be fit by Sunday

Team India will play a match against Pakistan on Sunday (February 15, 2026). Pakistan is a weak team, but its bowling is good. In such a situation, if wickets fall continuously, India’s problems will increase. The absence of veteran batsman Abhishek Sharma and powerful bowler Jasprit Bumrah from the team could prove costly. At the same time, according to Team India sources, there is up to 3 days time for the match against Pakistan. In such a situation, both Jasprit Bumrah and Abhishek Sharma will be fit and will also play the match.
