Abhishek Sharma is expected to be included in India’s playing XI in the shortest version of the game following the conclusion of the 2024 T20 World Cup, according to former New Zealand head coach Mike Hesson.
On Wednesday, May 8, Abhishek continued his impressive form in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, smashing an unbeaten 75 off 28 balls against the Lucknow Super Giants at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium to help Sunrisers Hyderabad secure a commanding victory with 10 wickets and 62 balls remaining. The former champions were able to easily chase down a 166-run target thanks to Travis Head’s outstanding knock of 89* off 30 balls.
Abhishek Sharma’s season total of runs scored exceeded 400 after his outstanding effort. With a strike rate of 205.64 and an average of 36.45 over 12 innings, the southpaw presently has 401 runs scored. Abhishek may not have been included in the Indian T20 World Cup 2024 team, but Hesson believes that his moment will arrive following the conclusion of the major competition. According to the 49-year-old, the all-rounder from Punjab might bat third or challenge Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal for the top spot.
