Meanwhile, they would play an important role during the five-match T20I series at the top. The world recently saw them open together during India’s successful run at the Asia Cup. In most games, Abhishek – with his ultra-aggressive approach – set the tone for the side. Thanks to his batting style, Abhishek was named the Player of the Tournament during the Asia Cup.
He also became the first player to breach the 300-run mark in a single T20 Asia Cup and currently he is at the ICC T20I batting rankings. This means he would be high on confidence when taking on the mighty Australians in their backyard.
