Even after playing 3 matches in T20 World Cup 2026, Abhishek Sharma’s account has not been opened. After getting a golden duck against USA, he could not play in the match against Namibia because he was unwell. After this, against Pakistan and on Wednesday against Netherlands, he was out for zero in the very first over. A shameful record has been registered in the name of world number-1 T20 batsman Abhishek, who was out on zero for 3 consecutive times.
When Abhishek Sharma came with the team for the national anthem before the start of the match against Netherlands, he was wearing Arshdeep Singh’s jersey. Everyone’s attention went to him, then he changed this jersey and wore the jersey with the name of Mohammad Siraj. Then the fans thought that Abhishek was doing this after getting out for zero in the last two matches? However, changing this jersey also did not work.
Abhishek was out on zero for the third consecutive time. Netherlands spinner Aryan Dutt bowled him in the very first over. Abhishek wanted to hit a big shot, but could not judge the ball.
Unwanted record registered in the name of Abhishek
World number-1 T20 batsman Abhishek Sharma has become the Indian batsman to be out on zero the most number of times in the T20 World Cup. He is now on top with Ashish Nehra. Pakistan’s Shahid Afridi and Sri Lanka’s Tillakaratne Dilshan are on top in the overall list, both have been out for duck 5-5 times.
However, the Indian team has qualified for the Super-8 by winning all four matches of the group stage. It is expected that Abhishek will return to his old form in the Super-8 matches. India’s next match is with South Africa on 22 February. Before the match against Netherlands, former India captain Sunil Gavaskar, while talking on Sports Today, gave an advice to Abhishek. He said that Abhishek should think about taking one run first. After that he can bat in his own style.
