Abhishek Sharma’s Ankle Twist: India Opener’s Injury Scare Ahead Of Second T20I

The 24-year-old scored a blazing 79 in the series opener and suffered an ankle twist during net practice.

According to PTI, Abhishek Sharma faced a potential injury setback during a catching drill at net practice on Friday. The Indian opener twisted his ankle, prompting immediate attention from the team physiotherapist. Visibly limping, Sharma walked back to the pavilion and did not participate in batting practice, raising concerns about his availability for the upcoming second T20I against England.

After intensive physiotherapy treatment lasting over 30 minutes, Abhishek Sharma’s participation in the upcoming match remains uncertain. The 24-year-old scored a blazing 79 in the series opener and suffered an ankle twist during net practice. If ruled out, India has strategic alternatives: Washington Sundar or Dhruv Jurel could replace him, with Tilak Varma potentially opening alongside Sanju Samson. The team, currently leading 1-0 after a comprehensive seven-wicket victory in Kolkata, will assess Sharma’s fitness before Saturday’s crucial second T20I against England.
