The Indian team is currently on a tour of South Africa to play a four-match T20 series under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav, in which Team India won the first match by 61 runs, while the second match did not perform well. The batsmen were to be seen. Abhishek Sharma, the young left-handed opening batsman who has been opening for Team India in this series, was quiet for the second match in a row, scoring 7 runs in the first match and scoring only 4 runs in the second match. In such a situation, Abhishek has reached the top of the unwanted list in T20 Internationals.
Abhishek’s batting average is only 18.88
Abhishek Sharma made his debut for Team India in T20 Internationals this year, returning to the pavilion for a wicket in his very first match. While in the second match he managed to score 100 runs in 47 balls. Since then, Abhishek’s batting has been consistently quiet, with him managing just 70 runs in his last seven T20 international innings. During this period, his highest score is just 16 runs which came in the T20 series against Bangladesh in the month of October. Along with this, Abhishek Sharma has now become the player in the all-member team with the lowest batting average after scoring a century in T20 Internationals. Abhishek’s batting average currently stands at just 18.88, surpassing Kevin O’Brien.

The Indian batsmen had a disappointing performance
In the first T20 match against South Africa, Team India scored more than 200 runs, while in the second match, they could score only 124 runs in 20 overs. While Sanju Samson could not even open his account for Team India, captain Surya could only manage an innings of four runs. On the basis of Hardik Pandya’s unbeaten innings of 39 runs, the Indian team definitely managed to reach a respectable score in this match.
