ICC Men’s T20 World Cup
Colombo, Feb 14: A few wrinkles might have vanished from the foreheads of the Indian think tank, watching Abhishek Sharma blazing through his big shots at nets here on Saturday.
The big-hitting opener had to skip the match against Namibia and spent a day at a private hospital in New Delhi because of a stomach bug, casting a shadow on his availability for the match against arch rivals Pakistan here on Sunday.
But the left-hander showed no signs of weariness while batting at the RPICS nets for close to 30 minutes.
India’s training session was, however, hampered by light but persistent rain, driving the team members to indoor nets here.
Abhishek batted against spinners Kuldeep Yadav and Varun Chakravarthy first up, smashing both the spinners to the far corners of Premadasa in a symbolic warning to the array of Pakistan spinners led by unorthodox Usman Tariq. (PTI)
