Salman Ali Agha Dismisses Abhishek Sharma for Duck, Opens Bowling for Pakistan

• Pakistani captain Salman Ali Agha opened the bowling against India in the T20 World Cup 2026 match.
• Agha, not a frontline spinner, dismissed Abhishek Sharma for a duck in his second successive T20 World Cup match.
• Despite having many spin options, Agha took the ball himself, a gamble that paid off.
• The decision was likely to limit pace overs, as the pitch at R Premadasa assisted spin.
• Abhishek Sharma recorded his fourth duck in his last six international innings.
