Abhishek Sharma's T20 World Cup 2026 Nightmare: From Hitter to Ducker

• Abhishek Sharma, world's top-ranked T20I batter, has suffered three consecutive ducks in the T20 World Cup 2026.
• His dismissals include picking out a sweeper cover, shanking a pop over mid-on, and a wild mow against an off-spinner.
• Concerns rise about his ability to handle spinners early on, especially after Pakistan's Salman Ali Agha exposed a weakness.
• India's scoring has been impacted, failing to cross 210 in the tournament, despite strong performances from other batters.
• The article suggests a more sedate start for Abhishek, allowing his in-form opening partner Ishan Kishan to take charge, or simply letting him play through the lean patch without drastic changes.
