India opener Abhishek Sharma has reportedly lost significant weight after a stomach infection led to severe dehydration and hospitalisation. According to reports, the illness began after a net session in Mumbai on February 6, possibly linked to something he ate. His condition worsened, and he was admitted to a Delhi hospital before being discharged later. He is unlikely to play the T20 World Cup match against Namibia. India assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate said, “Abhi still has a few issues with his tummy.” He added, “We’re waiting on Abhi’s fitness more than anything.” The team is monitoring his recovery closely.
