Former Pakistan player Mohammad Amir had said about Abhishek Sharma that he is just a slugger, this statement was heavily criticized because Abhishek is the world’s number-1 T20 batsman. Abhishek’s bat has not yet played in this tournament, even after 3 innings his account has not been opened yet. Now Aamir gave another statement regarding Abhishek and gave an advice to the Indian batsman.
Abhishek Sharma was out for zero against Pakistan in the T20 World Cup. He could not open his account even in the first match of this tournament and was out for zero against Netherlands also. A shameful record has also been registered in Abhishek’s name, he has become the Indian batsman to be out on zero the most number of times in the history of T20 World Cup. He equaled Ashish Nehra. Mohammad Aamir believes that Abhishek wants every ball in his comfort zone. He advised not to try to hit boundaries on every ball.
What did Aamir say about Abhishek Sharma?
Mohammad Aamir on Geo News said, “When Saim Ayub started in the Pakistan Super League some time back, he had the same problem. He had just come to the team and was hitting shots on every ball without looking. No one knew his weakness because most of his shots were on the leg side. In such a situation, if you bowled on the third or fourth stump, he would have faced problems. In his previous matches too, he got out while trying to play on the off side. As long as he improved his off side game, If you don’t improve, he can’t progress. Big bowlers will always see your weakness and bowl outside your comfort zone.”
Aamir further said, “It is the same for Abhishek Sharma. He wants every ball in the slot, so that he can hit it. But at the highest level of cricket, or in ODIs, you cannot bowl every ball. Salman Ali Aga and Aryan Dutt got him out like this. International cricket will expose you.”
