Abhishek Sharma will have a chance to create history in the India vs New Zealand first T20 to be held at the VCA Stadium in Nagpur. He can leave behind former cricketer and his mentor Yuvraj Singh in a record list. The match will start at 7 pm. This is India’s last match before the T20 World Cup, hence it is also important and all eyes will be on Abhishek.
Abhishek Sharma was not a part of the ODI series, which India lost 1-2. Abhishek will play in T20, who is known for his aggressive style. He hits a big hit from the first ball, and in a very short time he has created such an image that even the best bowlers are afraid of him. Abhishek is the world’s number-1 T20 batsman, who has come very close to leaving Yuvraj Singh behind in a record list.
