Team India’s young opener Abhishek Sharma has got a big relief before the T20 World Cup semi-final match between India and England. Former Australian captain Ricky Ponting has expressed his full support despite his poor form. Ponting believes that Abhishek can do something special in this big match and he has special preparation for the semi-finals.

Let us tell you, Abhishek Sharma’s performance so far in the T20 World Cup has not been as expected. He started the tournament with three consecutive zeroes. After this, he remained out of a match due to food poisoning. He scored 15 runs against South Africa in the Super Eight stage, while he showed signs of a comeback by scoring 55 runs against Zimbabwe. However, he was out cheaply again against West Indies. He has a total of 80 runs in six innings, which includes three ducks.

During the ICC review program, Ponting said that before the start of the tournament he thought that Abhishek would be among the highest run scorers. Even though this did not happen, he still stands with them. Ponting also praised the depth of the Indian batting order and said that there are many match-winning players in the team.

The former Australian captain believes that Abhishek just needs to refresh himself mentally. Constantly being under pressure affects performance, in such a situation sometimes it is beneficial to stay away from the nets. Ponting expressed confidence that Abhishek can leave his mark in a big match like the semi-finals.
