Mohammad Amir calls Abhishek Sharma 'just a slogger', ignites T20 World Cup rivalry

  • Former Pakistan pacer Mohammad Amir labeled India opener Abhishek Sharma as 'just a slogger', intensifying India-Pakistan T20 World Cup contest.
  • Amir criticized Abhishek's technique, stating he 'scores once in 8 innings' and lacks technical soundness, primarily swinging the bat.
  • Abhishek recorded a first-ball duck against USA and missed a match due to stomach infection, making his Sunday match prospects slim.
  • Despite Amir's comments, Abhishek had strong performances against Pakistan in last year's Asia Cup, scoring 31 and 74.
  • Former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif supported Amir's view, noting Abhishek's T20 focus and high-risk, swing-oriented approach.
