NEW DELHI: Prolific Indian opener Abhishek Sharma has been hospitalized with an upset stomach ahead of the group match against Namibia at the T20 World Cup, a cricket board official said Wednesday. The explosive left-hander is key to India’s chances of defending their title at the 20-team tournament and is doubtful for the Group A fixture on Thursday in New Delhi. The 25-year-old was admitted to a Delhi hospital on Tuesday after he missed training with a stomach issue he carried from the opener in Mumbai, the official told AFP on condition of anonymity.
