Gavaskar: Drop Abhishek Sharma for T20 World Cup Final vs NZ; Bring in Jaiswal
•Legendary cricketer Sunil Gavaskar suggested dropping young opener Abhishek Sharma from India's playing XI for the T20 World Cup final against New Zealand.
•Gavaskar recommended bringing in experienced Yashasvi Jaiswal, citing Abhishek's inconsistency and low scores in recent matches, including just 4 runs in the semi-final.
•He emphasized the need for technically strong players like Jaiswal to handle pressure in big matches and build innings, complementing Rohit Sharma.
•Abhishek Sharma scored 210 runs with two half-centuries in the tournament but managed only 12, 8, and 4 runs in his last three outings.
•Jaiswal has a good record against New Zealand and successful partnerships with Rohit, making him a strong contender for the challenging Barbados pitch.
