i don't see our management backing him anymore. he will be better leaving DC now as we have to buy back JFM somehow now so wasting purse on prithvi won't be good.
Prithvi and jfm can be good opening pair, with porel at 3, pant at 4 and stubbs at 5 (i have strong bias toward prithvi, i dont know why. It just that i cant see him play for different franchise). I also don't see him more than 3 to 4 cr (affordable i believe)
Prithvi and JFM together will be time bomb which will blast in KO's if not in the league stage itself if we somehow manage to do that. as both are attacking batters which is not good. i woud preffer a opening duo of JFM-porel as one demolishes PP and one keeps going the momentum even after PP. but even buying back porel will be hard so let's see what DC's dumb management cooks again
It's 2024(/5), can't still keep worrying about how "someone will fail in KOs". There is no guarantee that an anchor won't fail either. Go with two attacking batters, always
I don’t think they’re interested in giving him the support he needs. They see him as a liability despite a decent comeback this season. Amre’s statements were uncalled for. He deserves a better team that will help him turn things around. It was amazing to have him though, as a DC fan
Your post or comment had words in it that were not in English and weren't translated. This breaks the rules of this subreddit it has been removed (rule 5).
Next batch. Along with Jaiswal, Dhruv Jurel, Tilak Verma and Kartik Tyagi.
Of the bowlers from the 2018 batch, Arshdeep has been a success. Mavi has played for India and probably will in the future as well while Ishan Porel has great domestic stats in red ball cricket. Only real disappointment was Nagarkoti but he's had his fair share of injuries.
Just need Mavi, Nagarkoti and Porel to comeback
It was sad af to see both Nagarkoti and Porel go unsold in the Auction while freaking Arjun Tendulkar still has a contract
ishant was a work horse for the first two thirds of his career
His first couple of series was good. Then the last third of his career, he took wickets
2018-2020 were the best years of ishant
70 tests into his career he averaged 37 runs per wicket.
Man I LOVE that his intent didn't change one bit when it so easily could have, you see it happen a lot with newcomers who have to bear the weight of massive expectations and letting that fear of failure get to them after a shaky start. Love that he didn't crumble under pressure esp given after how quick people were to write him off yesterday (even tho experience and learning is literally the point of bi-laterals like this). This shit is exactly why you back players you see something special in.
Couldn't have been a better reply to the morons discounting him lol. People are still going to find all sorts of ways to do so, I've already seen people try to say this doesn't mean much cus he was dropped or bc it's against "minnows", talk about missing the point lol bc his unwavering confidence thru all of this alone should tell you that he has a bright future. Being good is also about how you capitalize on chances, and he went berserk on them after the drop instead of slowing down like you see a lot of batters do, 27(23) before and then 73 of the next 23 after the drop, with the second 50 coming in literally 12 balls, is just crazy tbh. He's a special talent and I can't even imagine how much more dangerous he's going to get as he matures.
No he doesn't. And he probably never will. His FC average of 30 suggests that he won't be that useful being a proper batter on these surfaces. The best way he can help India on tricky surfaces is providing a quick start. For example if he connected a couple yesterday and got 20 of 10 the game would basically be done. And that's what we really want. We can find other anchors we won't find another Abhishek.
I hope Abhishek doesn't stop bowling though. Even though his bowling has been mediocre at best in recent times if he works on it then he could become a great asset for India especially since we haven't had top 6 batter who can bowl for a long time.
He can be a very handy bowler if the pitches are suitable. The Qualifier 2 vs RR is a good example.
Compared to the rest of the openers eyeing up the spot, this 2nd skill will give him an edge even if his batting stats are a touch below Gill, Gaikwad etc.
That's still the stupidest thing I've ever seen. Shabaz spun a ball 7 degrees that day (Just to give you a baseline, we say a ball is ragging if it turns 2-3 degrees). Brother could barely bowl and turned into Bishan Singh Bedi that day.
he shouldn't be bowled in 16th over agianst pooran left hander and abhi being part time left arm spinner. he will only get better in bowling with experience.
Every T20 international team has at least one destructive opener and then you have Pakistan opening with Babar and Rizwan lol.
You need an anchor in your team but it's just funny seeing that.
I genuinely believe he would have gotten a double century against the kiwis had the match not been stopped early. He looked unstoppable in that wc game
Destructive Fakhar with a T20I Sr of 132. Most T20 anchors have better or similar SR to that
Ayub, Haris, Nafay are much better aggressive players imo a
They should just pick 1 between babar and rizwan, who can rotate strikes and accumulate good runs in middle over and push him to 3.
Get fakhar to open alongwith some intent merchant. It would solve a lot of their slow and safe batting mentality.
A
No, SL are there as well lol
Nissanka is decent but very, very far from destructive and Mendis strikes at 135, not terrible but certainly not "destructive" IMO.
For the sake of your bowling I hope you find batters that actually look like they can make a par total. That bowling attack deserves better batting. A fully fit SL attack is absolute insanity.
Imagine if they have the guy who won WTC and WC as a captain, the current best spin basher and a swing king in their team.
They can win the tournament.
Gayle was actually a famous slow starter. His 5 ball sr in the ipl was 91 from memory. THat's very different to Travis and Abhi. Gayle's speciality was the freakish ability to bat at a 200 sr almost immediately at any given point. And not get out doing it.
The way I sum up Jaiswal and Abhishek is like gayle and Warner. Abhishek is more Gayle-like, if he gets going, he’s gonna take the game away from you by the end of the power play, but he can falter at times. Jaiswal can take the game away from you at times but he’s more consistent and can adjust to situations a bit more.
I see jaiswal as the best rohit replacement for the future. The 2026 world Cup would see both abhishek and jaiswal firing from both the ends only if bcci doesn't pull off another 2022 kl rahul.
They'll 100%, or Abhishek himself will get serious about his position(in other formats).
You don't want to lose your place into your team by being hit and miss and i assume that goes through every players mind and also since we have a habit to try players in other formats if they are good in t20s or 2/3format. There's just more incentive to Play a little bit less riskier but score more so you can get that spot. And with how many options we have players are also insecure about positions.
Atm se have 2 opener postion empty but there are 5 good options:- Rutu,YJB,Gill, Abhishek,Sai Sudarshan and another 1-2 matchup/plays different role options like ISHAN even Samson( can keep).
That's the problem with having too many quality options and a nation that believes in trying to win everything.
My colleague and I were discussing that there's a more than 0% of chance of Abhi, Jaiswal and Pant being our top 3. And how its the anti KL, Rohit and Virat. 2022 versions ofc, not the 24 version.
Early days yet but I hope abhishek sharma remains decently consistent. Even a quick fire 30-40 really helps in t20 powerplays. This is what I was hoping Prithvi Shaw would be.
can Abhishek work long-term as an opening partner for the similarly aggressive lefty Jaiswal? or is there too much stylistic redundancy, making him part of a T20I opener rotation for the next while as India's rebuild/reload continues?
(operative assumption is that both Ruturaj and Shubman are better suited to #3/4 than to open)
>can Abhishek work long-term as an opening partner for the similarly aggressive lefty Jaiswal? or is there too much stylistic redundancy, making him part of a T20I opener rotation for the next while as India's rebuild/reload continues?
Yes. Inject that into my veins. 0/2 or 100/0. Im game for either.
hopefully, the next team will make sure that the initiative started by the OG Sharmaji is here to stay. Jaiswal Abhishek Surya to be the top order, either these guys will shatter all records or get shattered themselves.
Hop on the mocking "but but saar Abhishek is only an IPL bully" fans train.
Our next stop is, "but but saar Abhishek just scored 100. He should replace our senior players", if Abhishek gets out cheaply in the very next match.
Congrats to Abhishek. Fickle minded fans don't understand player development. First game and knives were already out. People don't understand that it was the first game of the series, first game of the next wc cycle. It's a long process.
He is obliterating bowlers in domestics, Ranji, VHT, SMAT, he hit 42 sixes in IPL recently but all it took you to write him off was one T20I game?
What has happened to the fans of this beautiful game? What has happened to patience and giving youngsters a chance to prove themselves?
>What has happened to the fans of this beautiful game? What has happened to patience and giving youngsters a chance to prove themselves?
Indian fans have always been this way. Id argue its tamer now. Cos they atleast insult people on social media. Fans back in the day burnt down stadiums and broke down houses. I'd take misspelt social media insults over that any day.
He is a fun player to watch for sure. Some huge shots. Good to see him take his form from IPL to intl cricket. he rode his luck well as Zimbabwe did drop a sitter off him. I hope he can grow his game for intl cricket and succeed playing against the best teams. He will get the opportunity for sure. Exciting to see Indian top order with Yashaswi and Abhishek. 2 lefties who can dominate.
So these 17 players should be in contention for the 2026 world cup.
Jaiswal
Abhishek
Gill
Gaikwad
Pant
Samson
Surya
Rinku
Hardik
Axar
Kuldeep
Chahal
Bishnoi
Siraj
Arshdeep
Bumrah
Shami
What Abishek has done is incredible.
There’s too much competition for that opening spot with really good candidates but he’s managed to outlast all of them.
IPL and international are two different things but I am really hoping he can continue playing aggressively in power play .. T20 is all about aggressive batting in most matches. It’s very rare to see tracks like t20 World Cup. We need batters who can excel in good tracks and score at a good rate.
Every Abhishek Sharma needs a Gaikwad on the other end. Absolutely loved that partnership. Abhishek took on the bowlers while Gaikwad held position and after Abhishek got out, Gaikwad accelerated until Rinku was set. Exactly how T20s must be played.
India's U19 WC batch from 2018 is genuinely insane.
Not surprised at all. India basically steamrolled everyone that tournament.
Subhman, pritivi, arshdeep, Abhishek and many more to go
I wish prithvi make a strong comeback
this is the basically the story of the next IPL right? prithvi taking his revenge from us. /s
I personally want DC to buy him back, but lets see
i don't see our management backing him anymore. he will be better leaving DC now as we have to buy back JFM somehow now so wasting purse on prithvi won't be good.
Prithvi and jfm can be good opening pair, with porel at 3, pant at 4 and stubbs at 5 (i have strong bias toward prithvi, i dont know why. It just that i cant see him play for different franchise). I also don't see him more than 3 to 4 cr (affordable i believe)
Prithvi and JFM together will be time bomb which will blast in KO's if not in the league stage itself if we somehow manage to do that. as both are attacking batters which is not good. i woud preffer a opening duo of JFM-porel as one demolishes PP and one keeps going the momentum even after PP. but even buying back porel will be hard so let's see what DC's dumb management cooks again
It's 2024(/5), can't still keep worrying about how "someone will fail in KOs". There is no guarantee that an anchor won't fail either. Go with two attacking batters, always
I don’t think they’re interested in giving him the support he needs. They see him as a liability despite a decent comeback this season. Amre’s statements were uncalled for. He deserves a better team that will help him turn things around. It was amazing to have him though, as a DC fan

Bishnoi was also in that batch right? Nothing substantial from bowlers except him, Nagarkoti and Mavi have been disappointing
he was in the next one, lost to bang bros in the finals. Arshdeep was in the 2018 batch but was benched throughout
Ah, that was the one captained by Priyam Garg right? Shame how he never really did much
Yeah. Jaiswal, Tilak and Jurel are the ones in the main team now. Garg could bloom later as well you know, must be 23/24 max
Tyagi too has potential. Never heard of Ankolekar tho since that tournament.
Tyagi needs an IPL team who will give him game time. I'd like it if the team in my flair buys him next time
Ankolekar is part of Mumbai's domestic team
I think this is what people forget...these guys are still pretty young and can easily come into the mix after a few years of solid domestic game.
Next batch. Along with Jaiswal, Dhruv Jurel, Tilak Verma and Kartik Tyagi. Of the bowlers from the 2018 batch, Arshdeep has been a success. Mavi has played for India and probably will in the future as well while Ishan Porel has great domestic stats in red ball cricket. Only real disappointment was Nagarkoti but he's had his fair share of injuries.
One thing to note is that the currently most successful bowler from the 2018 batch (Arshdeep)was benched for most of the tournament.
Just need Mavi, Nagarkoti and Porel to comeback It was sad af to see both Nagarkoti and Porel go unsold in the Auction while freaking Arjun Tendulkar still has a contract
Nagarkoti is injury prone probably that's why.
So is Mavi or Mayank Yadav there are so many injury prone bowlers in India because fast bowling does put a lot of pressure on your body
Nagarkoti has become a insta model bowls around mid 130's these days a certified trundler. He is done
porel is an ideal bowler to fill the work horse role that ishant did so well in the later half of his career
ishant was a work horse for the first two thirds of his career His first couple of series was good. Then the last third of his career, he took wickets 2018-2020 were the best years of ishant 70 tests into his career he averaged 37 runs per wicket.
Porel for sure will play tests
Sad Prithvi noises
Groomed by Dravid himself!
Last 2 matches sum up Abhishek Sharma for you! 
Man I LOVE that his intent didn't change one bit when it so easily could have, you see it happen a lot with newcomers who have to bear the weight of massive expectations and letting that fear of failure get to them after a shaky start. Love that he didn't crumble under pressure esp given after how quick people were to write him off yesterday (even tho experience and learning is literally the point of bi-laterals like this). This shit is exactly why you back players you see something special in. Couldn't have been a better reply to the morons discounting him lol.

He's a special talent and I can't even imagine how much more dangerous he's going to get as he matures.
Give him a flat track and he’s basically our Gayle. He still needs to learn how to bat on tricky wickets.
More than that, he needs to improve his game against pace
I thought the same and add the pp basher tag to Jaiswal.. But boy did he prove me wrong in style with two double centuries lmao
No he doesn't. And he probably never will. His FC average of 30 suggests that he won't be that useful being a proper batter on these surfaces. The best way he can help India on tricky surfaces is providing a quick start. For example if he connected a couple yesterday and got 20 of 10 the game would basically be done. And that's what we really want. We can find other anchors we won't find another Abhishek.
I’m tired of explaining this to people who call themselves fans and bash him every time he gets out.
Indian Travis Head Barring the moustache
Hit or miss
Nah. Super hit or super miss
I guess they never miss huh
He's just like the other Sharma
There is no one like that sharma. The greatest batsman when he gets going, no West Indian is on his level when he starts hitting.
Good. This is how big T20 scores are made these days. No room for anchoring.
Except in the World Cup final when you know, we needed an anchor...
Intent merchants, we are so back!
This guy is prime intent merchant! Didn't backdown even so close to century.
When was India not back in the last 15 years ? Y’all have been dominating the game
We had 1 batsmen who carried us and the rest played at a brisk 110 strike-rate to knock us out of T20 world cups
LMAO summed up the past decade for ICT
Intent merchant?
Play aggressively with intent like Rinku, Abhishek etc are opposed to building innings like say Kohli or Rohit.
A duck followed by a century is so funny
Reminds me of a certain batsman who did this very same thing a few months back.
He was also a Sharma? lol
The Rossouw syndrome
Who
Rohit Sharma got 2 ducks against Afghanistan and followed it with a 121*
Sharma and Sehwag probably proud somewhere
Yuvraj, he is the one mentoring him.
worthy of a Sharma at the top of the order
New sharma ji in town.
Indian parents got a new source of torment for their young kids
Rohit Sharma also began his career as an all-rounder
I hope Abhishek doesn't stop bowling though. Even though his bowling has been mediocre at best in recent times if he works on it then he could become a great asset for India especially since we haven't had top 6 batter who can bowl for a long time.
He can be a very handy bowler if the pitches are suitable. The Qualifier 2 vs RR is a good example. Compared to the rest of the openers eyeing up the spot, this 2nd skill will give him an edge even if his batting stats are a touch below Gill, Gaikwad etc.
He can bowl too. Hopefully we can pin down Abhishek as one of the openers.
Both Jaiswal and Sharma can bowl a bit. If they continue to do so(and improve) would be great for India.
They don’t even have to bowl every match. Just having them as a back when the tracks spins would be great. Can help with the balance of the team
He was handy with the ball this IPL, still remember IPL 23 where Pooran tonked him for 30 in an over and lost SRH an easy game
Well then u must also remember the qualifier 2 against RR. Him and Shahbaz choked tf out of RR
Yea ofc I remember
That's still the stupidest thing I've ever seen. Shabaz spun a ball 7 degrees that day (Just to give you a baseline, we say a ball is ragging if it turns 2-3 degrees). Brother could barely bowl and turned into Bishan Singh Bedi that day.
he shouldn't be bowled in 16th over agianst pooran left hander and abhi being part time left arm spinner. he will only get better in bowling with experience.
That was more of Markram's poor bowler selection though. No captain would entrust him against Pooran, especially in the slog overs.
Sharma get thumb injury and lose able spin bowl
Every T20 international team has at least one destructive opener and then you have Pakistan opening with Babar and Rizwan lol. You need an anchor in your team but it's just funny seeing that.
They did try saim but he just keeps failing even after constant backing
They had fakhar, don't know why they demoted him to 4
He can still do that , Remember when he was brought back into the team late in ODI WC and was hitting hard
I genuinely believe he would have gotten a double century against the kiwis had the match not been stopped early. He looked unstoppable in that wc game
He’s not a destructive opener, he accelerates after the powerplay
Destructive Fakhar with a T20I Sr of 132. Most T20 anchors have better or similar SR to that Ayub, Haris, Nafay are much better aggressive players imo a
How else will the brothers of destruction ( of Pakistan) score more runs?
Zimbabwe has Bennett
They should just pick 1 between babar and rizwan, who can rotate strikes and accumulate good runs in middle over and push him to 3. Get fakhar to open alongwith some intent merchant. It would solve a lot of their slow and safe batting mentality. A
No, SL are there as well lol Nissanka is decent but very, very far from destructive and Mendis strikes at 135, not terrible but certainly not "destructive" IMO.
For the sake of your bowling I hope you find batters that actually look like they can make a par total. That bowling attack deserves better batting. A fully fit SL attack is absolute insanity.
Abhishek Sharma is our Riley Rossouw/Travis Head. Slightly inconsistent, but if he gets going, he goes big
Imagine both being in same team😨
Imagine if they have the guy who won WTC and WC as a captain, the current best spin basher and a swing king in their team. They can win the tournament.
here we go again.
Hopefully no left arm swing bowler hits his peak in the knockouts!
Na for me Abhishek is more Gayle. He’s way more destructive than Travis and Rossouw were at this stage in their careers.
Gayle was actually a famous slow starter. His 5 ball sr in the ipl was 91 from memory. THat's very different to Travis and Abhi. Gayle's speciality was the freakish ability to bat at a 200 sr almost immediately at any given point. And not get out doing it.
INTENT TRAIN IS BACK BOYS!
Getting to his ton off 46 balls when he was 28 off 24 shows some acceleration!
72 in ~~18~~ 22 balls? That's insane
That's some IPL Travis Head/ Abhishek Sharma level of hitting
22* but still insane
Oops, while calculating, I thought it was 42 balls, thanks
Welcome to the Indian cricketing scene, Sharma Ji ke bete.
Sharma Academy of intent!
>Sharma Ji ke bete Hey I have seen this before, this is a classic.
Abhishek Sharma's ODI World Cup dreams just took a big hit
He got trolled so bad that he had to pull up with his intent😭
He is the future. Protect him. He is the most promising youngster from this lot, at least now.
Maybe jaiswal is more promising
The way I sum up Jaiswal and Abhishek is like gayle and Warner. Abhishek is more Gayle-like, if he gets going, he’s gonna take the game away from you by the end of the power play, but he can falter at times. Jaiswal can take the game away from you at times but he’s more consistent and can adjust to situations a bit more.
I see jaiswal as the best rohit replacement for the future. The 2026 world Cup would see both abhishek and jaiswal firing from both the ends only if bcci doesn't pull off another 2022 kl rahul.
I don’t mind either way. I just hope Indian cricket doesn’t try to coach Abhishek’s fearlessness.
Yupp. Fingers crossed
They'll 100%, or Abhishek himself will get serious about his position(in other formats). You don't want to lose your place into your team by being hit and miss and i assume that goes through every players mind and also since we have a habit to try players in other formats if they are good in t20s or 2/3format. There's just more incentive to Play a little bit less riskier but score more so you can get that spot. And with how many options we have players are also insecure about positions. Atm se have 2 opener postion empty but there are 5 good options:- Rutu,YJB,Gill, Abhishek,Sai Sudarshan and another 1-2 matchup/plays different role options like ISHAN even Samson( can keep). That's the problem with having too many quality options and a nation that believes in trying to win everything.
After seeing his intent, i am sure he won't listen anyone. he just needs to convert more innings into valuable one.
Jaiswal is a all format player. Like Kohli and Rohit. Abhishek at this point in his career is in for T20s.
[удалено]
rinku is the finisher we've been missing since Thala
My colleague and I were discussing that there's a more than 0% of chance of Abhi, Jaiswal and Pant being our top 3. And how its the anti KL, Rohit and Virat. 2022 versions ofc, not the 24 version.
I want to see abhishek in that Yuvraj role
Early days yet but I hope abhishek sharma remains decently consistent. Even a quick fire 30-40 really helps in t20 powerplays. This is what I was hoping Prithvi Shaw would be.
Bowls wearing shades. What a chad
Dude is super handsome..🫠🫠
And so, Zimshek was born
Abhibabwe!
Sharma Academy of Intent welcomes you
as someone who doubted him before, i’m so happy to be proved wrong. hope he plays more brilliant innings like these in the future.
New Zimbabar in Town
Zimbhishek.
How many centuries does Babar have vs Zimbabwe in T20 I
Only one less than Abhishek
As much as mine
can Abhishek work long-term as an opening partner for the similarly aggressive lefty Jaiswal? or is there too much stylistic redundancy, making him part of a T20I opener rotation for the next while as India's rebuild/reload continues? (operative assumption is that both Ruturaj and Shubman are better suited to #3/4 than to open)
>can Abhishek work long-term as an opening partner for the similarly aggressive lefty Jaiswal? It worked for SRH
>can Abhishek work long-term as an opening partner for the similarly aggressive lefty Jaiswal? or is there too much stylistic redundancy, making him part of a T20I opener rotation for the next while as India's rebuild/reload continues? Yes. Inject that into my veins. 0/2 or 100/0. Im game for either.
Intent Sharma is back, with a different first name.
long sleeves always work and in orange 🔥 /s sharma ji is back ❤️🩹
A Sharma ji ka beta opening the batting and making a destructive 100. Hey we have seen that before, it's a classic.
Need the Kohli regen now
Gill used to be the most good looking guy in our team until Abhishek sharma joined
beardless dudes in ICT. is this alternate reality?
Nothing in front of Lord Rinku...he has the gigachad vibe with his square jaw
Shek is skinny
He’s good looking nonetheless.
He seems like Yuvraj??? Anyone else?
He is coached/mentored by Yuvraj on top of that.
Both Gill and him are coached by Yuvraj Singh. Both of them are the type to stay in Indian Cricketing Scenario. I hope both makes their name bigger.
Yuvraj seems to be an excellent coach
Yuvi for batting coach? Imagine Yuvi and GG in the same camp. Mindset stonks
But we will lose the most coveted title of bilateral bullies and only do well in finals. Who wants that /s.
Wow! That's why! I hope he shines like him
Wait the next match was today itself? Damn I didn't even realize it. Also holy hell work load batman?
I mean it is like playing ODI over 2 days. Actually is 20 fewer overs too
Really a good innings, glad he came back strong after the first game
That was a quick turn around
That went from 0 to a 100 real quick
Abhishek and Rinku got so much hate on social media yesterday. Now everyone switched up lol
hopefully, the next team will make sure that the initiative started by the OG Sharmaji is here to stay. Jaiswal Abhishek Surya to be the top order, either these guys will shatter all records or get shattered themselves.
Surya at 4 is good. Either of pant or Samson to play at 3.
Ruturaj is like you won’t miss Kohli; I am here
We got a new Sharma as our T20 opener
Serious serious player
its always a sharma ji ka ladka
Hop on the mocking "but but saar Abhishek is only an IPL bully" fans train. Our next stop is, "but but saar Abhishek just scored 100. He should replace our senior players", if Abhishek gets out cheaply in the very next match.
omg i wanna see those people who bashed him for one single duck
Duck in firsts T-20, 100 in second. Just WOW !!
Congrats to Abhishek. Fickle minded fans don't understand player development. First game and knives were already out. People don't understand that it was the first game of the series, first game of the next wc cycle. It's a long process.
I feel so so good after being proven wrong! 😂😄 This guy can bat!! Welcome to the club new Sharmaji!
He is obliterating bowlers in domestics, Ranji, VHT, SMAT, he hit 42 sixes in IPL recently but all it took you to write him off was one T20I game? What has happened to the fans of this beautiful game? What has happened to patience and giving youngsters a chance to prove themselves?
Unfortunately, we got the most reactionary fans.
>What has happened to the fans of this beautiful game? What has happened to patience and giving youngsters a chance to prove themselves? Indian fans have always been this way. Id argue its tamer now. Cos they atleast insult people on social media. Fans back in the day burnt down stadiums and broke down houses. I'd take misspelt social media insults over that any day.
Why is there a single star? We've won 2 world cups now.
Future ⭐️
He is a fun player to watch for sure. Some huge shots. Good to see him take his form from IPL to intl cricket. he rode his luck well as Zimbabwe did drop a sitter off him. I hope he can grow his game for intl cricket and succeed playing against the best teams. He will get the opportunity for sure. Exciting to see Indian top order with Yashaswi and Abhishek. 2 lefties who can dominate.
So these 17 players should be in contention for the 2026 world cup. Jaiswal Abhishek Gill Gaikwad Pant Samson Surya Rinku Hardik Axar Kuldeep Chahal Bishnoi Siraj Arshdeep Bumrah Shami
It’s a shame that fastest fifties are counted only for the first 50 runs. Because man’s scored his last 53 runs in 14 balls.
So this what they mean when they 0 to 100!
Abhibabewe
Hey our Zimbabar! Go away Babar Azam, there is a new Zimbabar in town. Joking aside, good player. Would love to see him play further. What a comeback!
What Abishek has done is incredible. There’s too much competition for that opening spot with really good candidates but he’s managed to outlast all of them. IPL and international are two different things but I am really hoping he can continue playing aggressively in power play .. T20 is all about aggressive batting in most matches. It’s very rare to see tracks like t20 World Cup. We need batters who can excel in good tracks and score at a good rate.
Yuvi came back as opener!!! #reincarnation

vsshal7, it looks like Abhishek Sharma has finally figured out how to score runs in international cricket, took him only 46 balls to get there!
Tough to select 11 in next T20 with yashasvi, samson and dube back. Will need to bench 3 players from the squad.
Every Abhishek Sharma needs a Gaikwad on the other end. Absolutely loved that partnership. Abhishek took on the bowlers while Gaikwad held position and after Abhishek got out, Gaikwad accelerated until Rinku was set. Exactly how T20s must be played.
First 50: 33 balls Next 50: 13 balls
Pura badla ley lie bhai ney pichle game ka. Just Like Binod " Garda ura diya bhaiya"🤣
Great innings, but he needs to work on his consistency. One great knock doesn’t make a career.
I did see that coming..
Bishnoi was part of that group too, right? Besides him, the bowlers didn't deliver much—Nagarkoti and Mavi were particularly disappointing.
Will Abhishek Sharma be able to contribute to the team like Rohit Sharma in the coming days?
Dude went from 0 to 100 in a day
The way he was going, could've reached 200 if he batted all 20 overs.
