IND vs NAM: Abhishek-Ishan OUT, Bumrah IN... Changes in Playing XI
The Indian cricket team, led by captain Suryakumar Yadav, is set to face Namibia in their second match of the T20 World Cup 2026 today, with potential changes in the playing XI due to Abhishek Sharma's health issues.
In the T20 World Cup 2026 match today against Namibia, Team India seeks to maintain its winning momentum after a successful opening game. The match is scheduled to take place at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. Under the leadership of captain Suryakumar Yadav, the team aims to capitalize on their initial victory. Meanwhile, Namibia is looking to bounce back from their recent loss to the Netherlands at the same venue, adding more competitive spirit to the match.
A major concern for India is the fitness of opener Abhishek Sharma, who has been struggling with an infection and fever. Although he has been discharged from a private hospital in Delhi, his participation in the match against Namibia remains uncertain. If he is unable to play, Sanju Samson is likely to step in as an opener, bringing his aggressive batting style to the forefront, which could bolster the team's performance during the powerplay.
The return of fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is expected to boost the team's confidence significantly. He missed the opening match against the USA due to fever but is now fit to play. Bumrah's inclusion will enhance Indiaโs bowling attack and could be instrumental in sealing victory against Namibia, making it a crucial match for both teams involved in the tournament.
