Sunil Gavaskar told India Today, ‘Abhishek Sharma will not allow the opportunity to go by hand, he is in great form and has already scored three half -centuries. He missed a century due to a run out against Bangladesh, but this time he will try to play another big innings. Perhaps you can also score three digits.
How is Abhishek Sharma’s performance?
Abhishek Sharma is the highest run -scorer in the Asia Cup 2025. He has scored 309 runs in 6 matches so far, including three half -centuries. Their average has been 51.50 and the strike rate was 204.63. Abhishek played a bang of 74 runs in the match played against Pakistan on 21 September. After that he also scored half century in the match against Bangladesh and Sri Lanka
On the other hand, former Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar says that India’s batting is very much dependent on Abhishek Sharma. Shoaib Akhtar claimed that if Pakistan dismisses Abhishek Sharma within the first two overs, then India can be under pressure.

Shoaib Akhtar gave advice to the Pakistani team and said, ‘Get out of this mindset, keep the fear aside. Just take the wicket. You do not have to bowl the entire 20 overs, just to give the initial shocks. If Abhishek is out early, then there will be a big benefit for Pakistan.
One thing is clear that Abhishek Sharma’s batting will be the most important factor for India, while Pakistan’s entire strategy will be on dismissing him quickly. However, dismissing Abhishek will not be easy for Pakistani bowlers. If Abhishek has a stormy batting in the powerplay, then the work will be easy for India.
