In a promising display of skill and resilience, Indian opener Abhishek Sharma has signaled his readiness to face Pakistan in the much-anticipated cricket match on Sunday.
After recovering from a stomach bug that forced him to miss the match against Namibia, Sharma took to the RPICS nets, showcasing an aggressive style against spinners, including Kuldeep Yadav and Varun Chakravarthy. His impressive form comes after a day spent in a private hospital, casting doubt on his availability.
Despite efforts being stymied by light rain, the 25-year-old left-hander dominated indoor nets, reaffirming his batting prowess and firming up his position in the team. With India's batting coach Sitanshu Kotak vouching for his shot selection and captain Suryakumar Yadav's tacit confirmation of his return, Sharma's comeback may spell trouble for opponents. In contrast, Pakistan's captain, while acknowledging Sharma's threat, chose to focus on strategy against India as a whole.
