Injury Scare for Team India: Abhishek Sharma Twists Ankle Ahead of 2nd IND vs ENG T20I !!

India started the series with a win by defeating England in the first match of the 5 T20 match series. The Indian team won the match played in Kolkata on 22 January by 7 wickets. Team India has reached Chennai for the second match to be held on 25 January. But before the match, bad news has come for the Indian team. There is news of an explosive batsman being injured.

This explosive batsman got injured

The Indian team was practicing at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai before the second match. According to the PTI report, Abhishek Sharma has been injured during fielding practice. He has an ankle injury. He left the field right after the injury and did not return. He was also limping while returning. This was a clear sign of his injury. However, there is no update from the BCCI on his injury at the moment. If he remains out of the second match, it will be a big setback for Team India.

Played an explosive innings

Abhishek Sharma is one of the most dangerous batsmen in the current T20 squad. He gave proof of how explosive he was in the first match itself when he scored a blistering innings of 79 runs in just 34 balls hitting 8 sixes and 5 fours and gave India a one-sided victory in the match.

Who can be the replacement?

If Abhishek Sharma is out of the playing XI due to injury, then it will be a big blow for India. Tilak Verma can be sent in his place for the opening. At the same time, all-rounder Washington Sundar can enter the playing XI. However, the team management will try to get Abhishek fit before the match.
