New Delhi [India], February 13 (ANI): Star Indian opener Abhishek Sharma has offered a 'good' fitness update after being discharged from the hospital following a battle with a stomach infection ahead of the India-Pakistan T20 World Cup clash in Colombo.
Following a golden duck against the USA in the campaign opener, Abhishek missed the second clash at New Delhi against Namibia due to a stomach infection.
In a video posted by Punjab Kings (PBKS), pacer Arshdeep Singh could be seen asking him, 'How are you?'
