Abhishek Sharma was discharged from hospital on Wednesday, leaving the Indian camp relieved. The big-hittng opener was hospitalised on Monday night due to a stomach bug and missed Tuesday’s practice session at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. However, Tilak Varma, a crucial part of India’s top four, said the team management will take a call whether Abhishek would play against Namibia on game day, depending on how well the opener feels. “When we reached Delhi, he (Abhishek) went for some examinations at the hospital. Having said so, will India draft Abhishek straightaway into the XI just a day after his discharge from hospital?
