Flamboyant Indian opener Abhishek Sharma has been hospitalised with a stomach infection, leaving him doubtful for the T20 World Cup match against Namibia in New Delhi on Thursday (February 12, 2026).
Sharma has been hospitalised in New Delhi for the past two days.
“Abhishek has been admitted to a private hospital in Delhi due to stomach infection. Some tests are being done to ascertain the problem. It is still not clear whether he will be discharged today. But match against Namibia looks doubtful as of now,” a BCCI source said.
The Indian team management is hopeful of having him on the park for the big game against Pakistan in Colombo on February 15.
It has been learnt that the 25-year-old attended the dinner at head coach Gautam Gambhir’s place on Sunday but left much earlier than the rest of his teammates.
