Abhishek Sharma's Early Dismissal Raises Concerns
Abhishek Sharma, who is the world's number one T20I batter, had a tough time in a cricket match.
He was playing for Punjab in a tournament called the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.
Punjab was chasing a big score of 208 against Haryana.
Abhishek got out early for just 6 runs, which was not good for his team.
This is the second time in this tournament that he got out early.
Before this, he also didn't score many runs in some other matches.
Because of this, he might not get a chance to play for India's ODI team.
In the same match, a player from Haryana named Nishant Sindhu scored 61 runs and helped his team do well.
Abhishek Sharma, the world's No. 1 T20I batter, was dismissed early for 6 runs in 5 balls against Haryana in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2025.
This is his second consecutive failure in the tournament, having scored just 4 runs in Punjab's first match against Himachal Pradesh.
His recent form has been a concern, with modest scores in the India A series against South Africa A.
Nishant Sindhu from Haryana scored a notable 61 runs off 32 balls, helping his team post a strong total.
Abhishek's struggles have impacted his chances of breaking into India's ODI squad, with Ruturaj Gaikwad being preferred as Shubman Gill's replacement.
