Get ready – the biggest game of the T20 World Cup 2026 is here! India faces Pakistan tomorrow, February 15, at Colombo’s R. Premadasa Stadium, and there’s massive good news for Team India. Abhishek Sharma is fully fit and will play!
After missing the Namibia match due to a stomach bug that landed him in hospital briefly, the explosive opener is back and raring to go. This could be the boost India needs to dominate the powerplay on a tricky pitch. Let’s look at why Abhishek Sharma returning is such a game-changer.
Skipper Confirms: “Yes, He Will Play Tomorrow”
Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav cleared the air in Saturday’s press conference. “He has recovered well and trained hard,” SKY said. “Having Abhishek Sharma back at the top gives us that extra edge in the first six overs.” Fans breathed a sigh of relief – the aggressive left-hander is ready to attack from ball one.
Why Abhishek Sharma is India’s X-Factor
Abhishek Sharma isn’t just any opener. He’s one of the top T20 batters right now, fearless against pace and spin alike. His high strike rate and ability to take on bowlers early make him perfect for Colombo’s slow track. With Pakistan’s mystery spinner Usman Tariq likely to bowl, Abhishek Sharma’s bold style could set the tone and put pressure right away.

Both teams are unbeaten in Group A:

The winner tomorrow seals a Super 8 spot with one game left. Pakistan captain Salman Ali Agha even said he wants to face the best India – including Abhishek Sharma. SKY joked back: “If Pakistan wants him, done – he will play!”
