The former South African SuperStar AB de Villiers has accumulated praise on the young Opener of India Abhishek Sharma and supported him to excel in his first international tour of Australia at the end of this month. India is scheduled to play a series of white balls down in October and de Villiers believe that the conditions will suit the natural game of the left -handed.
The legendary dough on his YouTube channel described Abhisheka as “in the form of his life” after a star run in the recently closed Asian Cup, where he ended up as the highest tournament. De Villiers said that the pace and reflection of Australian courses could bring the best in the Opener of India.
“Abhishek Sharma is in the form of your life;; Some even say it is the best opening body in this format in the world. It will be great to see how he goes in Australia. I think he will like the conditions because he is quite a reflection, ”de Villiers said.
Former Captain Proteas also spoke in detail about Abhiskek’s technique and the extent of the stroke game, making it one of the most interesting doughs that need to be watched in the shortest format.
“He likes to liberate his hands across the side, opens the blade and extends the boundaries from point to a third person. He can also easily clean the side of the foot. He is a versatile player and a fantastic pasture to watch,” De Villiers added.
Abhishek, key in the Asia Cup Indian campaign, scored 314 runs in seven matches and appeared as a standout artist with a bat. Its explosive starts at the top of the order provided India to the foundation to dominate some of the most difficult Asian bowling attacks.
The upcoming Australia tour will lead to the first taste of the international cricket in these conditions. Australia, known for its demanding playground and greater reasons, often tested the adaptability of young subcontinental players. Given his trust and current form, however, Abhishek will eagerly have an immediate impact.
His latest overseas tasks came during the T20i series in South Africa at the end of 2024, where He registered half a century in Centurion. Given that the World Cup ICC T20 will be scheduled for next year in India, the Down Under series will be a key opportunity to strengthen its place in the group and gain valuable experience against the highest opposition.
When India stands towards a global event, all eyes will be at Abhishek Sharma to see if he can convert his heroism in Asia to consistent performances on Australian soil.
