Abhishek Sharma Suffers Ankle Injury During India’s Practice Ahead of Second T20I vs England 

After beating England in the first game of the five-match T20I series in Kolkata on Wednesday, India is actively continuing its preparations for the second game, which is scheduled to be played in Chennai on Saturday. However, the squad may be without a major player due to injury.

Abhishek Sharma has a Health Problem 

On Friday, the Indian national team was holding a training session in preparation for the upcoming match against Three Lions. In one of the episodes, opener Abhishek Sharma twisted his ankle while practicing catching the ball on the net. The team’s physiotherapist immediately examined the player right on the field before recommending that he go to the locker room and rest his ankle. From the sidelines, it was apparent that the 24-year-old Sharma was limping a bit. He spent about half an hour in the locker room, where the physiotherapist examined him. There is no official information yet on the severity of the injury.

Potential Player Replacement Decisions 

Abhishek Sharma had an impressive performance in the first clash against England, scoring 79 points. If he cannot play in the second game due to injury, the Indian coaching staff will have to look for other solutions. Such options are there. The team can field Washington Sundar or Dhruv Jurel in the eleven. If such a choice is made, Tilak Varma can move up the order to open with Sanju Samson. Either way, India’s coaches have a strong squad and can surprise the English with their decisions.
