India have looked strong in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 and have reached the Super 8 stage without losing a match. The tournament has proven to be extremely challenging for opening batsman Abhishek Sharma. The left-handed batter has scored three ducks in a row. He was dismissed for 0 against USA (0 off 1), Pakistan (0 off 4), and the Netherlands (0 off 3). He achieved the unwanted milestone of becoming the first Indian batter to achieve three consecutive T20 World Cup ducks. His dismissal against the Netherlands in Ahmedabad showed his current struggle. He tried to attack from the first ball but lost his wicket early. His fast scoring and fearless style defines his batting style but his aggressive method has not produced success in this tournament until now. Abhishek has already achieved five ducks during the year 2026 while playing in eight T20I matches. He shares the record for most T20I ducks in a single year with Sanju Samson who previously held the record. Also Read | Fact Check: Were Pakistan Players Treated As Terrorists In Colombo?

His exceptional ability enables him to create rapid changes within a brief period. The upcoming crucial matches require India to have their top batsman comeback to his best as he needs to make strong starts at the beginning of innings.
