The official report reveals that food poisoning was the primary cause of his illness. High temperatures and humidity also contributed to his weakened condition. Abhishek had played a vital role in India’s recent victories, so his sudden absence worried the coaching staff. They needed to know if he could recover in time for the upcoming knockout matches.

Fortunately, the latest updates bring some relief. Abhishek responded well to the treatment, and the hospital discharged him shortly after. He is now resting at the team hotel. The medical staff advised him to drink plenty of fluids and follow a strict diet for a few days.
