Mumbai: Abhishek Sharma flopped yet again with the bat in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2026. The southpaw arrived at the competition with massive expectations but so far, he has scored only 80 runs in seven matches, which is very unlike his character. In the semi-final against England at the Wankhede Stadium, he had the perfect opportunity to silence the critics and establish his authority. However, it was once again an off-spinner who got the better of him in the second over of the game. Abhishek had already smacked two boundaries in the over and there was no reason for…
