After India’s win in the first T20I against South Africa on Friday, former India opener Aakash Chopra has made a big statement regarding Abhishek Sharma. In the first T20 match played between India and South Africa, once again Abhishek Sharma’s bat did not work and he was out after scoring 7 runs in 8 balls.

Abhishek was caught by Gerald Coetzee by captain Aiden Markram in the fourth over. The 24-year-old all-rounder has so far scored only 166 runs in 9 T20 International matches at an average of 20.75. Former Indian cricketer and famous commentator Aakash Chopra has made a surprising claim on Abhishek’s continuous flops.

Aakash Chopra gave a big statement regarding Abhishek Sharma

Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube on Saturday, “This is the story of two openers. On one side there is Sanju Samson, whose star is shining. On the other side is Abhishek Sharma, whose stars are in the ascendant. When Abhishek scored a century against Zimbabwe, he was a new rising star. But since then it has gone downhill.

He was out against Coetzee in the first T20. Looking at the kind of shots he hit, it seems as if he has become a prisoner of his own reputation. He is not able to get rid of the reputation he has created (as a fast batsman). They feel that I play like this, so now I have to play like this. I won’t wait. In such a situation, another failure has occurred.”

However, the former cricketer expressed hope that Abhishek will open in the remaining three matches against South Africa as well. But Akash also warned that if the young player fails to create a consistent impact then problems may arise. He said, “A time will come when problems will arise. Questions will be asked as to how long you will be associated with Abhishek. He will get a chance in three more matches. But with every match the sand seems to be slipping from our hands.”

Yashasvi Jaiswal & Brad Haddin (Photo Source: The five-match Test series between India and Australia is starting from November 22, the first match between the two teams will be played in Perth. Team India is touring Australia after a 3-0 defeat in the last Test series against New Zealand.

Meanwhile, the former Australian player has warned Team India before the start of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Haddin says that Indian batsmen will not be able to face Australia’s fast bowlers, especially Yashasvi Jaiswal. Brad Haddin said this about Yashvi Jaiswal Brad Haddin says that Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal is definitely a good player, but he has not toured Australia before so things will be difficult for him. Let us tell you, Yashasvi is the second batsman to score the most runs in the World Test Championship cycle. He has scored 1407 runs for India in 26 innings, which includes two double centuries. According to Times of India, Brad Haddin while speaking on LisTNR Sport Podcast said, I don’t think Indian batsmen will be able to face our fast bowlers. I know Jaiswal is a really good player, but he hasn’t toured Australia before, so I’m not sure whether he can handle the bounce or not. Opening in Perth is a tough job. India has won the last two Test series in Australia 2-1. The team would like to repeat history this time too, because the team can reach the final of the World Test Championship only by winning four of the upcoming five-match Test series. On the other hand, Australia is keen to defeat India in a Test series for the first time since 2014-15.
