Team India: The second match of the 4-match T20 series between India and South Africa is being played in Port Elizabeth. Batting first here, India had a very poor start. By the end of the power play, Team India had scored only 34 runs and their three big batsmen had returned to the pavilion. Meanwhile, an Indian player and his performance has come under question.

continues to perform poorly

Team India's young opener Abhishek Sharma made his place in Team India by showing excellent performance in IPL 2024. He also proved the selectors' decision right by scoring a century in his debut series against Zimbabwe. But since then there has been a continuous decline in his performance. Now it has become difficult for Abhishek to even touch double figures.

flopped again

Even in the second T20 against South Africa, Abhishek Sharma ended up scoring just 4 runs in 5 balls. Gerald Coetzee made him his victim. Earlier in the first T20 also, the left-handed batsman had scored only 7 runs. Not only this, he had also flopped badly in the earlier series against Bangladesh. Only 35 runs were scored from his bat in the 3-match series. Now even the selectors might be regretting taking him in the team (Team India).

This has been the performance

24-year-old Abhishek Sharma has so far scored just 170 runs for India in 10 T20 matches at a modest average of 18.88. During this period, he scored a century against Zimbabwe, but apart from this he did not score any half-century with his bat. In such a situation, if he does not perform well in the remaining matches against South Africa, then he can be dropped from Team India.
