Former Pakistan cricketer Mohammad Aamir described Abhishek Sharma as a slugger and said that he can be dismissed by making an easy plan. India vs Pakistan match in T20 World Cup 2026 is on 15 February. Before this big match, Aamir said during a TV show that Indian opener Abhishek does not have consistency and he is also not a technically good batsman.
In the ongoing edition of T20 World Cup, India and Pakistan are in Group A, both have won their first 2 matches. Now the two strongest teams of this group will play against each other. Earlier, Aamir created controversy with his statement. He said that Abhishek walks in one out of 8 matches, while in others he is not able to score big.
Perhaps the match fixers forgot that Abhishek is currently the world number 1 T20 batsman in the ICC rankings. And he has not achieved this position after performing in just one out of 8 matches.
What did Mohammad Aamir say about Abhishek Sharma?
Mohammad Aamir said, “Abhishek Sharma is a slugger. He just wants to hit every ball. If the ball connects with his bat then it happens, otherwise the chances of failure are high. Abhishek scores runs in only 1 out of 8 innings. In others he scores 10, 15, 20, 0 runs. He just stands and slogs. He is not a technically sound batsman.”
Aamir further said, “Abhishek Sharma plays high-risk cricket. For him, put a fielder in deep cover and bowl on his body to trap him. The second thing is a slow ball.”
However, Aamir probably forgot that Abhishek is the world number T20 batsman, and he also knows that the bowlers will make variations against him. Abhishek had said during the T20 series against New Zealand, “I know that the bowlers are not going to give him much pace in the T20 World Cup, but I have realized it and I am practicing it.”
