Abhishek Sharma caught everyone’s attention with his batting in IPL 2024. During this period he scored runs at a strike rate of more than 200. Cricket experts were seeing him as the ‘next big thing’. But Abhishek Sharma has not been able to do justice to his talent in international cricket yet. He is continuously flopping. At present his place in Team India is also not decided.
He scored a century in the second match
Abhishek Sharma made his debut against Zimbabwe this year. In his debut match, he was out without opening the account. But he proved himself in the second match. He scored a century in just 46 balls. But since then it has been continuously flopping. Abhishek has played 8 T20 matches since his century in July, but has not been able to cross the 20-run mark in any innings yet. He has scored only 70 runs in total, in which he has been out in single digits thrice. Despite playing the role of opening batsman, he could not give a strong start to India.
flopped against South Africa
Abhishek has also been given a chance in the T20 series against South Africa. But till now he has been a flop in this series. He is constantly getting out trying to pull on shot pitch balls. He scored 7 runs in the first T20 match and 4 runs in the second match. In such a situation, questions are being raised about his place in the team. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Gill have still not returned to the team. After his return, it will be difficult for Abhishek Sharma to make a place in the 15-member team.
Father and coach Raj Kumar Sharma said this
Despite the increasing pressure, Abhishek’s father and coach Raj Kumar Sharma has faith in his son. Raj Kumar believes that his son is not out of form but needs a strong innings to gain confidence. Raj Kumar said, “Abhishek is not out of form. He needs just one innings to get back into his run-scoring rhythm. He has worked hard on his game and I am sure he will score well soon.”
