Abhishek Sharma was praised by Australian left-arm spinner Matt Kuhnemann, who praised the Indian opener’s batting prowess and ability to target the spinners right away.
After winning the Asia Cup Player of the Tournament award and hammering 112 runs in three innings during the current five-match T20I tour of Australia, Abhishek Sharma has been in scorching form lately. With a strike rate of 200.85, the southpaw is averaging 47 for India in the shortest format this year.
In order to help the Mitchell Marsh-led team avoid chaos during the powerplay, Kuhnemann is hoping that the Australian speedsters will be able to dismiss the 25-year-old with the new ball.
“Hopefully, Benny Dwarshuis or Xavier Bartlett, one of the quicks, can get rid of him in the first few overs. He is incredibly talented and puts in a lot of effort right away. “I hope the boys can get him cheaply, but it will be a great spectacle on Thursday,” Kuhnemann told cricket.com.au.
It will be vital to take wickets in the middle overs: Kuhnemann
Kuhnemann observed that the aggressive style of cricket played by Australia and India is comparable. Australian openers Travis Head and Marsh, like Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill, want to score runs fast by playing fearlessly.
Indeed, I believe that our playing style and theirs are rather comparable. incredibly explosive. The game is evolving quickly. From the first ball, everyone simply gives it their all. It will be vital to take wickets in the middle overs, Kuhnemann stated.
After the first three games, the five-match series is curiously tied at 1-1. Australia won the second Twenty20 International by four wickets after the first washed out. To even the score, though, the Men in Blue recovered in Hobart with a convincing five-wicket victory. The Carrara Oval in Queensland will host the fourth Twenty20 International on Thursday, November 6.
