Ishan Kishan suffers injury ahead of Namibia match:Bumrah’s ball hits his toe, uncertainty over participation in today’s match

During the practice session held on Wednesday evening before the match against Namibia in the T20 World Cup 2026, Team India opener Ishan Kishan got injured. This information has been provided in media reports. Meanwhile, the other opener, Abhishek Sharma, is already battling illness. Followed by Ishan’s injury, there is an uncertainty over Kishan’s participation against Namibia this evening. During practice, fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah’s yorker hit Ishan Kishan’s left toe. As soon as the ball hit, Ishan lay down on the ground, writhing in pain. The team physio immediately examined him. After this, Ishan limped away from the nets. However, after some time he tried to bat again, but his session could not last long. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has not yet issued any official update regarding his injury. Abhishek Sharma has a stomach infection
The team’s difficulties have increased because opener Abhishek Sharma is battling a stomach infection. He was admitted to a Delhi hospital for two days and was discharged on Wednesday. In such a situation, it will be difficult for him to play against Namibia. After practice, young batsman Tilak Varma said that the final decision on Abhishek’s fitness will be taken before the match. If he is not available, wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson might get a chance. Sanju had a long practice session at the nets on Wednesday. Bumrah fit, hopes for return
Meanwhile, Tilak Verma gave a positive update on Jasprit Bumrah’s fitness. He said, “Bumrah is now completely fine and feeling better than before. We have one day before the match. If his improvement continues, the team management will make the final decision. Hopefully, he will be available for the match against Namibia.” Bumrah participated in both bowling and catching drills during practice.
