Ravichandran Ashwin on Abhishek Sharma Slogger: Recently, Abhishek Sharma has been under criticism for his poor form in the T20 World Cup. But in the do-or-die match against Zimbabwe, he silenced his critics by playing an inning of 55 runs. That video of former Pakistani cricketer Mohammad Aamir went viral, in which he called Abhishek a ‘lappebaaz’. But now Ravichandran Ashwin has also jumped into this debate, who has expressed strong displeasure over Mohammad Aamir’s statement.

Better than Yuvraj Singh…

Ravichandran Ashwin mentioned the video of Mohammad Aamir in which he had called Abhishek Sharma a lappebaaz. Taking a dig at Aamir, Ashwin said that he can question Abhishek’s way of playing, but he is not a ‘lappebaaz’ at all.

Ashwin said, “Abhishek Sharma is one of the best batsmen with bat swing today. We all know that Yuvraj Singh is his mentor. Perhaps Abhishek’s bat swing is even better than Yuvraj. Your bat swing cannot be better than this.”

The former Indian leg spinner said that whenever Abhishek hits the ball, it goes very far. That’s why some people may make the mistake of considering him a ‘lappebaaz’. Ashwin also pointed out one mistake of Abhishek that he tries to play a big shot on every ball.

returned to form

Abhishek Sharma was out on ‘zero’ in the first three innings of his T20 World Cup career. His account opened in the Super-8 match against South Africa, but there too he was out after scoring only 15 runs. But when Team India most needed Abhishek to play a big innings, he showed signs of returning to form by playing an innings of 55 runs. After defeating Zimbabwe, the Indian team remains in the race for the semi-finals.

His list A record has also been excellent, where he has scored 2014 runs in 61 matches at a great average of 35.33. In ODI cricket, more than 90 strike rates are generally considered good, while Abhishek has been beating the bowlers by playing more than 99 strike rates in List-A career.

Abhishek Sharma gets a chance in the ODI team, then the question arises as to whose place he will be fed. The blueprint of the 2027 ODI World Cup is to be prepared, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are still continuing the game in the 50-over format. If Abhishek Sharma comes to the opening, will it be a downfall of Rohit Sharma’s ODI career.

On the other hand, instead of Yashasvi Jaiswal, it may also be in danger, who made his ODI debut against England this year.
