Asia Cup 2025: Team India cricketer Sanju Samson has heaped laurels on opener Abhishek Sharma for their clinical partnership during the nervy Asia Cup 2025 clash against Oman.
The Omani bowlers looked in top gear after toppling Shubman Gill’s wicket after scoring just six runs. But Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson held the fort with their firm 66-run partnership.

Sanju Samson’s gritty half-century against the Oman bowlers helped India stay afloat in the match. With Abhishek Sharma continuing his explosive flair by contributing with a 15-ball 38, Axar Patel contributed with a 13-ball 26 in the middle.
Tilak Varma pulled off an 18-ball 29, keeping India away from pressure. Fast bowler Harshit Rana also contributed with 13 runs and smashed a six to end their innings.
After Team India scored 188, Oman’s top-order batters displayed composure against the Indian bowling attack with a commendable effort. Team India had to fight their way to gain momentum.
Once the top order collapsed, it was easy for Team India to obtain a stronghold in the competition. The Suryakumar Yadav-led Men in Blue finished undefeated in the group stage and will move on to the Super 4 stage.
