Abhishek Sharma: On the one hand, the players have time to perform better in the T20 series between India and South Africa, but on the other hand, there is a danger of being removed from the squad if the match is not good. Meanwhile, during the series, keep an eye out for Abhishek Sharma, who will also open the series. In fact, Abhishek Sharma got the opportunity to make his debut just a few days ago, during which he did not perform as he should have. He may have scored a century in just the second T20 international, but he has been quiet with the bat since then and if this continues, his troubles may increase.
Abhishek Sharma scores a storming century against Zimbabwe
Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson will open the innings for India against South Africa. He got a call from the Indian team after playing some explosive games for his team Sunrisers Hyderabad in this year’s IPL. In the second match, he scored 100 runs from just 36 balls against Zimbabwe and it looked like he would continue the trend further, but that was not the case. Not to mention a century, not even a half-century, he was unable to score with the bat, although his chances were not less.
Barring a century, he was not even able to cross the 20-run mark.
Abhishek scored the second-highest score in the tournament while representing Punjab in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy in India. However, he has not been able to perform as well as he did with the Indian team in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Championship and IPL so far. Apart from gaining 100 points, he has yet to cross the 20-point mark. If we look at his career, he has scored 159 runs in 7 innings of 8 games. This also includes a century. That said, it’s easy to see how he fares in the remaining games. His average score is only 22.71, which is not good at all.
A chance to work wonders with the bat and bowling ball
He is the highest-scoring player in recent Emerging Asia tournaments. Now he will get a chance to make the most of the four chances he got in the series against South Africa. Because there is a fierce competition in the Indian team for the starting spot. Not only Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ruturaj Gaikwad, Sanju Samson has also emerged as a new contender. Under such circumstances, it is not easy to consolidate one’s position in the Indian team. The good thing for Abhishek is that he bowls too. If he can do wonders with both the ball and the bat, he has the ability to be well ahead of his peers.
