In a significant boost for the Indian cricket team, star opener Abhishek Sharma has been discharged from a hospital in Delhi after receiving treatment for a stomach ailment. This news comes just a day before the highly anticipated T20 World Cup match against Namibia. Teammate Tilak Varma confirmed during a press interaction that Sharma has recovered and will be assessed further to determine his availability for the match scheduled for Thursday.

Abhishek's health issue arose right after the team's arrival in Delhi, where he was admitted for scans shortly thereafter. This incident creates questions about his participation, especially considering that he played against the US in the team's first match in Mumbai on February 7, despite his illness. However, he was unable to contribute significantly in that match, leading to concerns over his fitness and impact on the team heading into this crucial game against Namibia.

The management will decide on Abhishek’s participation in the match only after assessing his condition further. This adds pressure as the team is looking to maintain its momentum in the T20 World Cup, making his fitness a crucial factor for the strategy against Namibia, which many expect to be a competitive facing for the Indian team. With the stakes high, the team and fans alike are hopeful for his swift recovery and contribution.
