Is Abhishek Sharma a slugger? Former Pakistan pacer Mohammad Amir called him a slugger after seeing the Indian opener’s batting style. Abhishek scored a fifty against Zimbabwe. After that, former Indian cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin responded to Amir.
On his YouTube channel, Ashwin said, “I saw a video of Mohammad Amir where he called Abhishek Sharma a slugger. I want to make it clear that you can say whatever you want about Abhishek’s game, but Abhishek is not a slugger. His bat swing is extraordinary. We all know that Abhishek’s mentor is Yuvraj Singh.”

Ashwin also said, “His bat swing is better than Yuvraj’s. A better bat swing is not possible. Whenever Abhishek plays a shot, it flies far. Many may mistake Abhishek for a slugger. Abhishek shows an aggressive attitude with every ball, it can go against him.”

He could not play in a World Cup match due to a stomach problem. Abhishek made zero in the remaining three matches of the group stage. He scored only 15 runs against South Africa. Finally, he was seen in form again against Zimbabwe. Abhishek said, “It always feels good to score runs. I was able to contribute to the team. I was waiting for this moment for a long time. Finally it happened. I am very happy.”
Abhishek scored a half-century in 26 balls against Zimbabwe. This is his second slowest half-century. Why was he suddenly batting slowly in the middle? Abhishek’s answer, “I did not bat slowly deliberately. After playing a few balls, I was trying to spend as much time as possible on the pitch. Because before this match, I could not even play 10-12 balls in the entire tournament. So, spending some time at the crease was also the aim. I want to thank the entire team for the way they stood by me. “At the end, I didn’t feel like I couldn’t score runs for the team. Everyone took such good care of me.”
