Bad start for Abhishek Sharma in T20 World Cup 2026
Team India ICC T20 World Cup 2026 Have played three matches so far and have won all three. But Abhishek Sharma’s performance remains a matter of concern. Due to illness, he could play only two matches and returned to the pavilion in both without opening the account. The opener being out on zero consecutively is not considered a good sign for the team. Fans are also wondering when his bat will finally speak.
Special and direct advice from Sunil Gavaskar
Indian cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar gave advice to Abhishek in a simple and desi style. He said, “All I want to say is that first score one run. Just one run. After that you play your natural game.”
Gavaskar believes that the first run gives confidence. When the player opens an account, his legs start moving automatically and the pressure gets reduced. He clearly said that after getting set, one should play aggressively and be a little cautious in the beginning.
Out on zero three times in last 5 matches
If we look at the last five innings of Abhishek Sharma, the picture is a bit worrying. He has been out on zero thrice. However, in the practice match he scored 24* runs against South Africa. Earlier against New Zealand he was out for 30 runs and then once for zero. It is clear that his form is going up and down.
Have scored a century too, no confidence in form
Let us remind you that Abhishek Sharma has also scored a century against New Zealand. That means there is no shortage of talent at all. Gavaskar also said that he is in great form, but he should not be taken lightly. Many batsmen become careless after performing well, due to which they lose wickets.
Team India has big expectations from the opener
Abhishek Sharma has played 40 T20 International matches so far and has scored 1297 runs. His average is 35.05, which includes one century and five half-centuries. In such a situation, it is clear that the team management has full confidence in him.
Now it will be interesting to see whether Abhishek is able to open the ‘lock’ of the first run in the upcoming match or not. Fans are praying that his bat roars again and Team India gets a bang.
