"It's All Because Of Him": Abhishek Sharma's Glorious Tribute To Yuvraj Singh After Wankhede Heroics

In a format as fickle as T20 cricket in which a batter is destined for more failures than success, India's newest power-hitter Abhishek Sharma has learnt quite early that self-belief and fearlessness are essential to increase the probability of a favourable outcome. It has not yet been a full year since the Punjab batter arrived at the international stage on the back of high promise in domestic cricket, including an immensely successful IPL with Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2024. But at only 24, Abhishek has begun threatening records which took several years for others to create.

Asked About Competition With Gill And Jaiswal, Abhishek Sharma Gives Blunt Answer

After firing a record-breaking ton in the fifth T20I at the Wankhede Stadium, Abhishek Sharma downplayed the competition for the opening slot between him, Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal. With Gill and Jaiswal being cooped up in the ODI and Test formats, Abhishek has been the preferred candidate for the opening slot. After an underwhelming run in South Africa, the young southpaw made the most of the opportunity by turning the tides against England. After making a promising start to the series with a belligerent 79(34), Abhishek stored his best for the last T20I of the five-match affair. He brought thunder down at the Wankhede with a swashbuckling performance, toppling numerous records on his way to 135(54), second fastest century for India.

Kevin Pietersen Attacks Ex-India Star Amid Concussion Row: "Hold His Hand Up..."

India pacer Harshit Rana replacing Shivam Dube as a concussion substitute in the 4th T20I against England raised a few eyebrows, with experts suggesting that it was not a like-for-like replacement. Dube, a part-time medium seam bowler, scored a half-century in the first innings, was struck on the head by Jamie Overton off the penultimate delivery of India's innings. India then effectively used the concussion protocol to field Harshit in place of Dube, who bowls at speeds in the early 120 km/h range.
