T20 World Cup Blow: Team India Star Abhishek Sharma Hospitalized, Namibia Match in Doubt

New Delhi, February 11, 2026
India faces anxious moments at a crucial T20 World Cup stage. Star opener Abhishek Sharma admitted to hospital with stomach infection & high fever. His participation in tomorrow’s February 12 Namibia clash looks nearly impossible.

Health Deterioration Timeline

Sources reveal symptoms began Sunday at Gautam Gambhir’s team dinner. Monday hospitalization followed. Team management & medical staff monitoring constantly. Captain Suryakumar Yadav confirmed Abhishek battled stomach issues for days.

Sanju Samson Gets Opening Chance?

Sanju Samson likely to partner Ishan Kishan at the top without Abhishek. Though recent backup roles, Samson gets major opportunity to prove himself. Ishan in excellent form but under pressure for quick starts.

Pakistan ‘Mega Match’ in Jeopardy

Biggest concern: Feb 15 Pakistan clash in Colombo – just 4 days away. Abhishek’s fitness becomes India’s biggest headache. Major batting order reshuffle possible if he misses out.
