Abhishek Sharma' Wicket - (Source; X.com)
Abhishek Sharma was the centre of attraction before India locked horns against South Africa because the southpaw was yet to score a run in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2026. The 25-year-old passed that hurdle and opened his account in the tournament, but failed to convert the start into a big score.
On the last ball of the 1st over, Abhishek Sharma scored his maiden runs in World Cup. The southpaw quickly amassed 15 (11) and was on course to score big, but threw his wicket away to Marco Jansen.

Meanwhile, the camera also panned on the fans in the stand, where a fan girl was emotional and nearly bursted into tears seeing the terrible state of India in the ongoing match.
