Abhishek Sharma is such an inconsistent opener. It is unreal how scoring runs on the flattest tracks earned him an India spot and desire over many much better openers. There is a motive he did not carry out earlier than this IPL.

India managed a complete of simply 124 in 20 overs within the second T20I in opposition to South Africa. Hardik Pandya scored 39 off 45 balls, whereas Axar Patel made 21 and Tilak Varma managed a run-a-ball 20.
Enjoying solely seven recognised batters harm India, as an early collapse put immense stress on the center order to play freely.
India had earlier overwhelmed South Africa within the first T20I in Durban.
