In a pivotal update before India's T20 World Cup encounter against Namibia, cricketer Tilak Varma revealed Abhishek Sharma's hospitalization due to a stomach infection. Concerns are mounting over Sharma's participation, with a final decision about his spot in the playing XI set for match day.

Sharma's ailment became evident during a team dinner at coach Gautam Gambhir's home. Eyeing potential alternatives, sources suggest Sanju Samson could join Ishan Kishan to open the innings if Sharma remains unfit.
