Sunil Gavaskar On Abhishek Sharma: Abhishek Sharma has played three innings in the 2026 T20 World Cup, but his account has not been opened. Abhishek has been out on ‘zero’ in all three matches. Abhishek’s poor form is a matter of concern for Team India. Now, former veteran captain of Team India, Sunil Gavaskar, while giving gurumantra to Abhishek, told him how he can reach from ‘flop’ to ‘hit’.
First of all, Gavaskar said that expectations are becoming a burden for Abhishek. Further he said that Abhishek should initially think about making his innings instead of big shots. Let us tell you that till now Abhishek has played three matches against USA, Pakistan and Netherlands. In all three matches he was out at 0, 0, 0.
expectations are becoming a burden
Speaking on Star Sports, Sunil Gavaskar said, “Abhishek is good, but expectations are becoming a burden for him. If he had made a good start against USA, something would have been different. Now the pressure of being a top order batsman who hits sixes is beginning to show.”
fast batting is not good
Veteran Gavaskar further said, “He needs to spend time at the crease. He cannot think of hitting a six or a boundary on the first ball of the innings. If a big shot comes, it is fine. But he should not play across the line shots. Take a single and open the account. Even 4 dot balls do not make a difference. He can settle the scores later on. He needs to play smart in the beginning. Play one or two overs to settle down and then Play your natural game.”
Gavaskar further said, “First just open your account. Every person wants that first run. Once he gets that, then everything else falls into place.”
