Leading batsman in the format

Abhishek has been among the well-known top batsmen in this format. He had a slow start due to a stomach ailment before the first match of the tournament in Mumbai last week. Despite illness, which ruled him out in the match against the United States of America at the Wankhede Stadium, he returned for a golden duck. He hit the ball of pacer Ali Khan directly into the hands of the fielder.

admitted to hospital

Following this, Abhishek was not available for selection for India’s second match against Namibia in Delhi this week. Struggling with stomach upset and viral fever, 25-year-old Abhishek had to be admitted to a hospital in the capital. The left-hander regained his fitness a day before the match in Colombo and had a long net session before replacing Sanju Samson in the playing XI on Sunday.

out for a duck four times

Although Abhishek has been in great form in the last few months, his play has been up and down since the end of January. In his last seven innings, he has been out for a duck four times, three of which he was out on the first ball.
