If this happens then the most shameful record will be registered in the name of Abhishek Sharma, one will have to be careful on Zimbabwe tour

Abhishek Sharma: The series of 3 T20 matches between India and Zimbabwe will start from July 23. After clean sweep in 2 consecutive series, this series has become very important for Team India. In this series, everyone’s eyes will be on captain Shreyas Iyer as well as the team’s star opener Abhishek Sharma. Abhishek has come very close to such a shameful record, which no batsman would want to make in his name. In such a situation, Abhishek needs to be careful during the Zimbabwe tour.

Out for duck 9 times

Abhishek Sharma has been out for a duck a total of 9 times in T20 cricket so far in the year 2026. In this matter he is at par with Rashid Khan of Afghanistan and Shadab Khan of Pakistan. Now, if Abhishek gets out for a duck in any match against Zimbabwe, he will become the player to get out for a duck the most number of times in a calendar year in the history of T20 cricket. He will reach the top in this shameful list.

If Abhishek Sharma survives, he can destroy any bowler.

Abhishek Sharma is such a player who, if he survives, can single-handedly change the course of the match. Abhishek doesn’t care who the bowler is in front of him.
