India-opener Abhishek Sharma had to deal with an injury in the run-up to the second T20i against England, when he twisted his ankle on Friday during the catching exercise at the Nets in Chennai. Then ABHISHEK was checked on the field by team physiotherapist before he withdrew to the dressing room to give his ankle rest. He was seen somewhat hopping while he walked back to the pavilion and did not hit nets. The 24-year-old spent more than half an hour at the physio in the dressing room.
Abhishek made a quick fire 79 in the first match in Kolkata, where India scored an easy victory of seven wickets. If Abhishek has to serve the game in Chennai on Saturday, India has the opportunity to include Washington Sundar or Dhruv Jurget in the Elf.
In that case, Tilak Varma can move the order to open with Sanju Samson. India leads the series of five games 1-0 after winning the first game in Kolkata with seven wickets.
In the meantime, the Indian Spinner Varun Chakravarthy equaled the standards of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy on Friday, and said that cricket players should appear more at the Domestic Tournament to improve their game intelligence in the T20 format.
Chakravarthy played a crucial role on Wednesday in the victory of India over England with seven wickets in the first T20i in Kolkata, taking three wickets.
His words also resonated with the vision of the Indian head coach Gautam Gambhir and main selector Ajit Agarkar about emphasizing the domestic cricket.
Various killer players, such as Indian skipper Rohit Sharma and the Kwieke Wicketkeeper-Budger Rishabh Pant, appeared for their respective domestic teams in the penultimate Tour of the Ranji Trophy.
“The level of domestic cricket is extremely high. I would almost say that it is comparable to IPL and the other international matches we play. I would therefore recommend everyone to play the Syed Mushtaq Ali, because we play in small sites It is quite a challenge, “said Chakravarthy prior to the competition.
“I find it very difficult to play Smat. It certainly helped me to get better, to be instinctive, to be alert and to think correctly at the right time,” he added.
