Abhishek Sharma: Abhishek Sharma has disappointed again. His account was not opened in the group stage of T20 World Cup 2026. In the 3 matches played in the group stage, he scored only zeroes. He played 8 balls in the group stage. In the T20 World Cup 2026, Abhishek Sharma’s account opened on the 9th ball, which he played against South Africa in the first match of Super-8. When Abhishek Sharma opened his account with a four, there was hope that now he will return to his form. But there was not much change in Abhishek’s story.
Abhishek Sharma was out 4 times in 20 balls.
Abhishek Sharma, who opened his account on the 9th ball, once again ended on the 20th ball in the T20 World Cup 2026. Meaning, he was seen getting out for the fourth time in 20 balls played so far in the tournament. During this period he scored only 15 runs.
Scored 15 runs on 12 balls against South Africa
Out of the 20 balls played so far in the tournament, Abhishek Sharma played 12 balls in the Super-8 match against South Africa, in which he scored 15 runs. In this match too, he was seen getting out in the powerplay itself. That means his desire to play a big innings remained unfulfilled in another match of T20 World Cup 2026.
Out on zero in 5 innings so far in 2026
By the way, the question is not only about T20 World Cup 2026. Throughout this year, Abhishek Sharma’s batting did not seem to be at the same level as the fire and brilliance that was seen in him last year. Abhishek Sharma has been out on zero in 5 innings so far this year. He played all these innings against 4 teams. He was out on zero twice against New Zealand before the T20 World Cup 2026. He was out on zero once each against USA, Pakistan and Netherlands in the T20 World Cup 2026.
Didn’t even score 200 runs in 9 innings
