India opener Abhishek Sharma’s availability for the marquee T20 World Cup clash against Pakistan remains uncertain, with spinner Varun Chakravarthy saying the batter “looks good” while skipper Suryakumar Yadav has hinted he may need more time to recover. ADVERTISEMENT“As far as I have spoken to him he looks good, he did some practice today also. He told me he is on the way,” said Chakravarthy, who starred with the ball in the win over Namibia. “Abhishek isn't fine still, might take one or two games,” skipper Suryakumar Yadav dropped enough hints that the he could be a doubtful starter for the Pakistan game. At the toss against Namibia, Suryakumar had indicated that Abhishek would miss “a game or two” before regaining full fitness.
