Abhishek Sharma Fail: Abhishek Sharma batted brilliantly in the Asia Cup but he failed in the first T20 match against Australia. Abhishek started off by hitting 4 fours but the Australian bowlers had made a special plan for him due to which he got trapped and he was out after scoring 19 runs in 14 balls. Abhishek, who usually plays with a strike rate of 200, had a strike rate of less than 140. The interesting thing is that Abhishek Sharma could not score even a single run on 8 balls, he played 8 dot balls.

The interesting thing is that when Abhishek Sharma returned to the pavilion, head coach Gautam Gambhir called him, the picture of which is going viral on social media.

Attack on Abhishek Sharma's weakness

Abhishek Sharma When he was out, he was seen sitting with Gautam Gambhir and the video analyst. Abhishek was watching how he got out, what mistake did he make? During this, Gautam Gambhir was seen explaining something to him. Let us tell you that Abhishek Sharma was trapped by Nathan Ellis with his slower ball. Australian bowlers continuously bowled short balls to him.

Constant attempts were made not to give him room and then Nathan Ellis suddenly threw him a forward ball which was slower and Abhishek played a shot in the air. As a result, the ball fell into the hands of Tim David standing at mid-off.

It is not so easy to score runs in Australia

There is no doubt that Abhishek Sharma is the world's number 1 batsman and he has amazing ability, but scoring runs fast on the Australian pitch is not so easy. Especially when the ball is new, it moves and bounces more. Therefore, Abhishek Sharma may have to change his way of playing in Australia.

As did his teammate and Team India's T20 vice-captain Shubman Gill. Gill started slowly but after that he scored 37 runs in 20 balls at a strike rate of more than 180 in 9.4 overs. Now it remains to be seen what Abhishek does in the second T20.
