Delhi: Indian cricket has got another aggressive star, who has attracted the attention of greats from all over the world with his explosive batting. Young left-handed opener Abhishek Sharma is today at a position in T20 cricket where he is being directly compared with a great batsman like Chris Gayle. The special thing is that now this comparison has reached the point of leaving it behind.

Abhishek Sharma’s style in modern T20 cricket

Abhishek Sharma has proved himself to be the most dangerous batsman in the T20 format in a very short time. The biggest specialty of his batting is that he tries to create pressure as soon as he comes on the field. He remains aggressive against the bowlers from the beginning. This is why his strike rate and big shots in the powerplay can quickly change the course of the match.

Big statement of Mohammad Kaif

Former Indian batsman Mohammad Kaif has made a very important comment about Abhishek’s batting. Kaif said on his YouTube channel that usually batsmen who play aggressive games like this are not able to maintain consistency. He has seen many big names in his career, including Chris Gayle, who used to think of playing big shots on every ball, but Kaif believes that Abhishek Sharma has taken the same style to a new level. He directly dominates the bowlers without wasting any time, which makes him different from others.

He said, “Generally, there is a lack of consistency in the batsmen who adopt such an aggressive style. I have seen many big names in my career, who used to play in this style. Chris Gayle was also one of them, who mostly tried to play big shots on every ball, but Abhishek Sharma has taken the same pattern further.”

He further said, “He has now gone above that level. He does not need time to settle down at the crease, he attacks the bowlers as soon as he comes. That is why he is appreciated less.”

Statistics are also confirming

Abhishek Sharma has so far scored 5070 runs in 171 T20 matches. He has 8 centuries and 30 half-centuries to his name, which shows both his consistency and aggression. At present, he is the number one T20 batsman in the world and his journey seems to be going to greater heights.
