India Playing 11 vs Namibia: India's next match in the T20 World Cup 2026 is against Namibia. There may be changes in the playing eleven of the Indian team for this match to be held at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. Two players are expected to be out of the team. The question is why would he be out? Who will take his place if he is out? India played its first match in the tournament against USA in Mumbai, in which it won by 29 runs. But, it seems that Suryakumar Yadav will not be seen fielding against Namibia with the team that has won against USA.

Abhishek Sharma and Mohammad Siraj will be out!

Two changes can clearly be seen in the playing eleven of Team India against Namibia. These changes can happen in the form of Abhishek Sharma and Mohammad Siraj. Both these players may be seen out of the team against Namibia. Abhishek Sharma will remain out due to illness. Whereas Siraj may have to be out due to the return of Bumrah.

Bumrah and Samson may return to the team

Abhishek Sharma has been admitted to Delhi hospital due to stomach infection. He also played the match against USA with high fever. After that decision his health deteriorated further. There are full chances that Abhishek will not play against Namibia. In such a situation, Sanju Samson is certain to play in his place. There are indications of Sanju playing because he was seen participating enthusiastically in the practice.

Jasprit Bumrah did not play the first match against USA due to fever. But, before the match against Namibia, he is fine and ready to play. In such a situation, Mohammad Siraj may have to sit out if he comes in the playing eleven. However, Siraj performed well in the first match against USA and took 3 wickets.

Will Rinku Singh be out because of Sundar?

Washington Sundar has also returned to Team India after recovering from injury. But the situation is not clear at the moment regarding whether they will play against Namibia in Delhi. If he remains match fit, then the team management can think of playing a match before the match against Pakistan in Colombo. In that case Rinku Singh may be out of the playing eleven.
