Abhishek Sharma: India’s next match in the T20 World Cup 2026 is going to be against Pakistan. Before this big match, there is suspense over Abhishek Sharma’s play. Abhishek’s health had deteriorated a few days ago. For this reason he did not play the match against Namibia. Abhishek himself has told that he has lost a few kilos of weight. It is still not clear whether this strong opening batsman of Team India is completely fit or not. Fans want to see Abhishek playing against Pakistan. However, Aaron Finch gave a big warning to Team India for the future.

‘Should not take risks’

Former Australian captain Aaron Finch while talking to India Today said that Abhishek Sharma is the match winner of Team India. They should be saved for big matches like Super 8, semi-finals and finals. If he is not fit, then it does not make sense to take risk against Pakistan. He said, ‘No, he has a lot of options and there is no doubt about it. Sanju Samson is in the top order and in the last match he gave a great start along with Ishan Kishan.

Finch further said, ‘No matter how big this match is, I think India will have its eyes on Super 6, semi-finals and final. Because of this I feel that if Abhishek is still not well, then you should not take risks. Everyone understands that you cannot win the tournament in the initial stages.

‘It doesn’t matter how big the IND vs PAK match is’

Aaron Finch said that Team India should keep its best players fit till the end of the tournament. He said, ‘Abhishek Sharma is the most dangerous player in the world right now. That’s why you want to see him playing fit and aggressively. For this, if he has to take rest for a few more days, then I think you should be ready for it. It should not matter how big India vs Pakistan is on paper. You will want to keep your best players fit and healthy for the end of the tournament.
