After a duck in the opener, a stomach infection kept him out of Namibia. He returned for the high stakes clash with Pakistan but failed to score again.
Fortunately, Ishan Kishan’s imperious form at the other end kept India’s campaign on track. To his credit, Abhishek’s high-risk approach has brought India several wins and it may only be a matter of time before he dismantles the top bowlers again. Still, four ducks in his last six innings suggest he may need to rethink his power-play strategy.
With India already through to the Super 8s, the Dutch game offers the perfect chance to get back in the running. On the bowling front, India could rest a few players ahead of the next phase, including pace boss Jasprit Bumrah. After opting for Kuldeep Yadav ahead of Arshdeep Singh, the Colombo team is expected to go back to two specialist pacers. If Bumrah is rested, Mohammed Siraj and Arshdeep Singh are likely to open the attack.
