T20 World Cup 2026: The tournament for Indian team’s young batsman Abhishek Sharma in the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 has not been as per expectations so far. Due to his continuous poor performance, he is under criticism and meanwhile, former Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Aamir has once again targeted him. Aamir, who called Abhishek a ‘slogger’ at the beginning of the tournament, stands by his statement. He believes that there are flaws in Abhishek’s technique and his weaknesses are now coming to light at the international level.
Abhishek is continuously struggling with bad form.
Abhishek Sharma, known for his aggressive batting in T20 format, has scored 182 runs in 8 matches this year at a strike rate of more than 224. However, the truth behind the figures is a bit worrying. He has faced ducks 5 times in the last 7 innings.
Even in the match against Netherlands, Abhishek had returned to the pavilion on zero. With this, he has made a shameful record in his name in T20 World Cup history. He has joined the list of Indian batsmen who have been out on ducks the most number of times in T20 World Cup history.
Aamir raised questions on technology
During a conversation on a TV show, Mohammad Aamir compared Abhishek with Pakistan’s young batsman Saim Ayub. He said that when a new batsman comes to the international level, initially his weaknesses remain hidden, but with time the opposition team reads them.
According to Aamir, Abhishek faces trouble while bowling around the off stump. He said that trying to play every ball aggressively does not work in the long run and at a high level a batsman should also know defence.
chance in super 8
Now India has to play an important match against South Africa in the Super 8 on 22nd February. In such a situation, the upcoming match will be a big opportunity for Abhishek to prove himself. If he plays a good innings in this match, he can be successful in answering the criticism with the bat and can also make an important contribution to the team.
