“Abhishek Sharma A Gun T20 Player”: Ravi Shastri
Shastri, warning Australia about Abhishek Sharma, stated he is a gun T20 player who has the power to create destruction with the bat.
He said,
“He’s a gun T20 player. If he’s in for a while, there’s guaranteed entertainment. Irrespective of whether you’re Australian or Indian, you’ll enjoy it. He has the ability to take the game away from you. You don’t want him out there too long because he can create chaos.”

He said,
“His preparation, his belief in his own ability, the range of shots that he has, and then the mindset to go out there and back himself from ball one.”
