The form of Indian team's veteran batsman Virat Kohli is not good at the moment, due to which he has been dropped from the team. In place of Virat, young player Abhishek Sharma, who performed well in IPL 2024, has been given a chance in the team.

Chief selector Ajit Agarkar has shown Kohli the way out of the team and has now given a chance to a young player in his place. Let us tell you that Abhishek plays aggressive cricket from the first ball itself and gives a quick start to the team.

Virat Kohli's form is the biggest reason

35-year-old Virat is currently struggling to score runs with the bat and runs are not coming from his bat.

Even in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, he has not been able to score a single half-century so far and has been out on two zeroes.

Seeing this form of Kohli, he has been shown the way out of Team India. The right-handed batsman may have scored a lot of runs in IPL 2024, but now his bat has remained silent in the World Cup so far and that is why he has not been selected in the Indian team. At present, Virat is opening the innings for India but is not performing well.

Abhishek Sharma will replace Virat Kohli

Young player Abhishek Sharma is a fearless batsman who goes for big shots from the very first ball. In such a situation, Sharma has been given a place in the team on the Zimbabwe tour.

There is every possibility that Sharma will be seen opening in the 5-match T20 series. Currently Kohli is playing as an opening batsman for Team India and now Abhishek is ready to take his place.

Although many top order batsmen have been selected for the Zimbabwe tour, but considering Abhishek's aggressive game, he can be given a chance in the playing eleven.

Abhishek Sharma's performance in IPL 2024

Everyone is aware of the pair of Abhishek and Travis Head playing for Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2024. Both of them had created havoc together.

Abhishek's bat roared a lot this whole season and he scored a lot of runs.

This season, Abhishek played a total of 16 matches in which he scored 484 runs at an average of 32.27 and a strike rate of over 204. During this, 3 half-centuries came from his bat.
