Abhishek Sachin Sandikar

Abhishek Sandikar is an NFL Writer at EssentiallySports, where he covers the league's daily news cycle with a focus on what happens off the field as much as on it.

He also has a strong feel for the human side of the sport, covering the tributes, setbacks, and locker-room moments that shape an NFL season. Abhishek brings an editor's background to that work. He previously served as the NFL Editor at EssentiallySports, where he led the desk's football coverage and shaped how stories were reported and framed. That experience informs his own bylines, which pair sharp news judgment with clear structure. He is a Journalism graduate from Christ University and holds a postgraduate degree in Broadcast Journalism from the University of London. Known for fast, accurate reporting and clean storytelling, Abhishek turns each day's developments into clear stories that keep fans up to speed across the league.
