IND vs NAM Live Score: Ishan Kishan also got injured
However, the problem is with Ishaan also. On Wednesday, Ishan Kishan suffered a toe injury after being hit by Jasprit Bumrah’s sharp yorker during the optional practice session. Ishan Kishan was the first to come to the nets wearing pads, but early in his session, a yorker from Bumrah hit his left leg, causing him a lot of pain. After this the support staff opened his left pad and shoe. Ishaan was seen in pain. Meanwhile, during the physio’s assessment, bowling coach Morne Morkel also checked his injury. A few minutes later, Kishan tried to walk barefoot, but he was limping. However, he was indicating that the injury was not as serious as initially feared. Within five minutes, Kishan had put his shoes back on, put on his pads again and came back to face some balls. He looked a little uncomfortable and then walked out once more and went back to the dressing room with a staff member. It was unclear whether he left the nets early as a precaution or simply to give batting time to teammate Sanju Samson.

IND vs NAM Live Score: Abhishek has stomach infection problem
Abhishek’s hospitalization due to stomach infection and viral fever was worrying for India. However, now he has been discharged from the hospital. But the team management would not want to take the risk of feeding him immediately after recovery. But we all are well aware of Abhishek’s fighting spirit. He is considered a fighter player who is not afraid of challenges. In such a situation, we will not be surprised if he convinces the management and comes on the field. However, it would not be appropriate to field him to give him a chance to fully recover before the big match against Pakistan on Sunday, as Abhishek’s presence in that match will prove to be a significant challenge for the opposition team. The match against Namibia can prove to be a golden opportunity for Sanju Samson, who was struggling with poor form, to get back into form, because due to continuous failures, he lost his place to Ishan Kishan, who is in excellent form at the moment.

IND vs NAM Live Score: India has the upper hand against Namibia
India has the upper hand against Namibia whose team could not perform well against Netherlands on the same ground. Seen in this way, this match is like a practice match for India before the important match against Pakistan on 15th February. If India wins the toss, it would like to bat first so that its batsmen can get enough opportunities. Namibia’s bowling attack is not special and any team playing in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy can remind them of the milk of Chhathi.

IND vs NAM Live Score: Team management’s concerns increased
Reigning champions India face no threat from Namibia in the T20 World Cup match in Delhi on Thursday, but opener Abhishek Sharma’s stomach infection and Ishan Kishan’s injury in the practice session will have the team management, including head coach Gautam Gambhir, worried as it could adversely impact their plans. In the first match against America, the batsmen were not able to perform as expected on the sticky pitch of Wankhede. Now he would like to show an aggressive game on the pitch of Arun Jaitley Stadium, which can be called the best pitch for batting.
