India vs Pakistan: There is much speculation over India opener Abhishek Sharma's health. He missed India's game against Namibia on Thursday due to a stomach illness. Amid all the confusion, Abhishek has himself provided an update on his health ahead of the big-ticket clash against Pakistan in Colombo on February 15. As per Abhishek, he says he is good. He confirms this when Arshdeep Singh records him and asks the big question.
Arshdeep first asks: ‘How are you’. To that, Abhishek cheekily responds, ‘Daal-rice good’. Then Abhishek says, ‘Me, good’.

Looking at this video, it seems he feels that he is recovering well and should be fit in time for the Pakistan clash. Even Varun Chakravarthy provided an update on Abhishek after India hammered Namibia by 93 runs at the Arun Jaitley stadium.
There is no doubt that more than a billion would be praying that he recovers on time for the game against Pakistan in Colombo. He is a game-changer and could easily decide the fate of the big-ticket clash.
Abhishek did feature in India's opening game at the T20 WC against the USA. Unfortunately, he registered a golden duck in that game. He would be raring to go against Pakistan, knowing well that the game holds a lot of significance in the hearts of fans. Abhishek has the ability to get the side off to a flying start and that is exactly what he would be looking to do when the two arch-rivals meet.
It is no secret that Abhishek is familiar taking on the current Pakistani attack. He was part of all the three wins in the Asia Cup nover Pakistan. India would start favourites against the Men in Green.
