Abhishek Sharma Has Been Under Fire After Poor Start Though the joyful moment at practice was amusing, Abhishek has disappointed cricket fans with his sluggish start. The young opener has managed to score three zeroes in succession. He got out for zero against USA, Pakistan and Netherlands. He also was forced to miss one game due to stomach infection and was treated in New Delhi. After returning to action, he was dismissed for zero against the Netherlands. Consequently, he became the first Indian opener in history to not score in three T20Is in a row in a single T20 World Cup. However, this poor run has not diminished his confidence, as he remains one of the leading T20 batters in the world. Abhishek has scored 1,297 runs in 40 T20I innings at an outstanding strike rate of 192.43. Nonetheless, fans expect him to turn it around in the next assignments. The Indian team will hope that the players’ jovial mood in the camp will rub off on their performances.
