TOP MOST FRAUD in Indian cricket Singari Rupesh @2005Rupesh @CricCrazyJohns Zimbishek never disappoints me Lakshay Sharma @LakshVerse @CricCrazyJohns Muzarabani has Abhishek Sharma’s number 😭💀 Three games, three times! 🔥 Whistle Podu | CSK Central @whistlepoduclub @CricCrazyJohns Muzarbani Owned Abhishek in this Series 😭😭 Abhishek surpasses KL Rahul for unwanted record in shambolic listAbhishek Sharma eventually concluded the three-match T20I series with just 11 runs to his name. Maintaining an abysmal batting average of 3.67, the cricketer has now surpassed KL Rahul for a huge unwanted record of scoring the least number of runs in a single series as an Indian opener.Previously, Rahul aggregated 15 runs during India’s home series against England back in 2021.Abhishek Sharma concludes three-nation tour with just one fiftyThe Indian cricket team has collectively toured Ireland, England and Zimbabwe in the space of a month to play 10 T20I matches spanning three series. Being one of the few members of the squad to have featured in India’s playing XI in all 10 games, Abhishek managed to aggregate just 191 runs in 10 innings at a dismal average of 19.10.Moreover, the cricketer hit just one fifty across all three tours, doing so in England earlier this month, albeit in a losing cause. Even in the 2026 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup earlier this year, the 25-year-old made just 141 runs in eight innings of the tournament with just two fifties to his name. With growing calls from fans for the return of Sanju Samson, the team management might feel inclined towards dropping Abhishek Sharma from the squad (or playing XI) should the belligerent opener fails to recover his lost touch with the bat.Vaibhav Sooryavanshi gets India off to a flierAfter the dismissal of Abhishek, young opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi took charge and smashed a blistering half-century against Zimbabwe in the third T20I.At the time of publishing, India reached 129-2 in 14 overs.Also Read- Abhishek Sharma’s Bowling Could Solve India’s Balance Problem
