For India, Abhishek's hospitalisation with a stomach infection and viral fever is concerning. Even if he was discharged on Wednesday, it won't be advisable to put him on the park without allowing him to sufficiently recuperate before the big game against Pakistan on Sunday, where Abhishek's presence is a crucial intimidating factor for the opposition.
