The second T20 match between India and England will be played in Chennai on 25 January. Before this match, bad news has come out for Team India. According to a media report, Abhishek Sharma has suffered an ankle injury, due to which he may have to sit out of the T20 match. According to news agency PTI, Abhishek’s ankle got twisted during catching practice, after which the physiotherapist took care of him. Due to this injury, Abhishek was seen resting his leg in the dressing room.
According to PTI, Abhishek Sharma was seen staggering towards the dressing room after his ankle got twisted. After this incident, he did not return to practice in the nets again. It is said that Abhishek Sharma sat with the physio for about half an hour in the dressing room. Let us remind you that in the first T20 match played in Kolkata, Abhishek Sharma played a blistering innings of 79 runs in just 34 balls. He made an important contribution in helping Team India win by 7 wickets.
Mohammed Shami’s absence from the playing eleven in the first T20 match was raising big questions. No official statement has been issued on his fitness yet, in such a situation the news of Abhishek Sharma being injured is like a double blow for Team India. If Abhishek is unable to play the second T20 due to injury, then Washington Sundar or Dhruv Jurel can get a chance in the playing eleven in his place. In such a situation, Tilak Verma can be sent to bat at number three instead of fourth.
