In the third T20 match against New Zealand, Abhishek Sharma created such a storm that the world kept watching. Team India had a target of 154 runs, chasing which Abhishek scored 68 runs in 20 balls. During this time, he also scored the second fastest fifty for India in the history of international T20 cricket.
India won the match by 8 wickets, after which an action of New Zealand players has come into discussion. Such pictures are going viral on social media, in which Abhishek was seen testing his bat against New Zealand. As if Abhishek’s bat has a spring.
Discussions about spring bats started during the 2003 ODI World Cup, when Ricky Ponting played an inning of 140 runs against India in the final. After the end of the third T20 match, Mitchell Santner, Jacob Duffy and Devon Conway were seen examining Abhishek Sharma’s bat with a smile.
Yesterday, New Zealand players were checking Abhishek Sharma’s bat after the match.
I don’t recall any other player’s bat being checked like this
The last time I remember opposition players checking a bat was during Sachin Tendulkar’s era
