'This Is so Immature': Abhishek Sharma Slammed After Duck Against Pakistan in Key T20 World Cup Clash
Abhishek Sharma became only the third player in men’s T20 World Cup history to record ducks in his first two matches, raising concerns over his recent form.
- On Sunday, Abhishek Sharma was dismissed for a four-ball duck in the opening over against Pakistan at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, removing a returning opener early in the innings.
- Tactics and conditions combined as Pakistan asked India to bat first, with Salman Ali Agha taking the new ball and the pitch judged tacky.
- Entering the tournament as the top‑ranked batter, Abhishek Sharma has recorded four ducks in his last seven innings, including a golden duck against the United States, joining Ashish Nehra and Imrul Kayes in a rare record.
- The early wicket left a notable mark on Sharma’s tournament record, as he recorded back‑to‑back ducks in his World Cup debut, increasing scrutiny.
- Sharma had regained fitness on match eve in Colombo after hospitalisation and replaced Sanju Samson in India’s two changes for the Sunday match.
