The young opener Abhishek Sharma is suspicious of the second T20I between India and England who will play at Chennai’s Ma Chidambaram stadium. His absence will be a huge blow to India as he played a key role in the victory of India in Kalcuta.
Abhishek was a preferred Indian opening in the shortest game format since the end of the T20 World Cup 2024 last year. He was not in line with his performances, but so far he has shown many promises to his dominant blows.

Abhishek Sharma suspicious for chennai t20i
Abhishek Sharma distorted the right ankle while warming up at the second T20I match. The left back was in severe pain, and the Indian team physically rushed to follow him.
After the injury was scared, Abhishek was seen walking gently and even reached the net at the stadium. However, he did not go out to Bat, which caused concern about his availability for the second T20I against England.
The left -wing left back were seen floating in the nets, which is not great news for India. His absence will be a significant blow to India with respect to the form he has shown in the first T20I. However, his inaccessibility is not yet official.
Who can replace Abhishek Sharma?
If Abhishek Sharma misses this match, it is likely to be replaced by Dhruv Jurel in the XI toys. India also has the ability to move Tilak Varma for the introductory slot in order to hit and pay Jurela in the middle line.
Tilak was in great shape in T20is late and broke two consecutive hundreds on a tour of South Africa. The 22-year-old has an excellent T20I record with 635 runs in 21 matches on average 52.91 and a strike of 159.54 with two hundred and two fifties.
In the meantime, Dhruv Jurel has yet to prove his value in T20i, because he has only played two t20i so far and has achieved 6 rides. However, he is capable of a finisher, except he is a safe guard. He showed his credentials as he played for Rajasthan Royals in IPL.
T20I numbers Abhishek Sharma
Abhishek Sharma reduced the beautiful 79 out of only 34 delivery during the first T20I from the series played in Calcutta. The left back hit 5 fours and 8 sixties during his taping while showing his ultra-inhabitant way.
Abhishek went to the national team on the back of the wonderful appearances in the IPL where he impressed everything with his belligerent blow. Although he has been in discomfort so far with his performances in T20I, he has shown a lot of promises.
Abhishek Sharma has played 13 t20i so far and scored 335 runs on average 27.91 and a strike rate of 183.06 with 1 hundred and 2 fifties. The talented left back from Punjab has a unique ability to win the match for its team a day.
In this case, Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav may have to move to the point 3. The lower line is probably the same as the previous match. It remains to be seen which combination of India accepts if Abhishek excludes from this match.
