Former Indian captain Sunil Gavaskar reacted to his great batting performance and said that he was surprised to see Abhishek's defense while batting and praised his fifty after consecutives ducks in the T20 World Cup 2026. "We know how good Abhishek Sharma is as a batter. He silenced his doubters with this knock of 55 runs against Zimbabwe."
"He took that extra time to start his innings. There was a method to his batting. He respected the off spinner, didn't take any kind of risks and played in a calm and a composed manner," he said.
"In this game, he actually played a defensive shot. He defended the ball. I was surprised to see that because we don't usually see Abhishek do that," Gavaskar added.
'This is a learning curve for him': Sunil Gavaskar

Gavaskar opened up about his top two teams to win the tournament. "For me, the two favorites are South Africa and England.

Otherwise, the England win would have been a very, very easy win against Pakistan."
