Shastri's Bold Plan: Open with Ishan, Bring Rinku to Solve Abhishek's Form Woes

• Abhishek Sharma's poor form (80 runs in 6 innings) is a concern for India ahead of the T20 World Cup semi-final.
• Ricky Ponting had predicted Abhishek as the leading run-scorer, but Ishan Kishan and Sanju Samson have outperformed him.
• Former India coach Ravi Shastri suggests persisting with Abhishek unless his confidence is completely shattered.
• If confidence is an issue, Shastri proposes opening with Ishan Kishan and bringing Rinku Singh into the lower order.
• Shastri recalls Abhishek's record-breaking 135 against England at Wankhede, advocating for his retention due to batting firepower.
