AB de Villiers Backs Abhishek Sharma to Dominate Australia T20I Series

Sunrisers Hyderabad opener Abhishek Sharma has received a major vote of confidence from cricket legend AB de Villiers ahead of India's T20I series against Australia. De Villiers predicted that Sharma is poised to excel in the upcoming matches, specifically citing the bouncy Australian pitches as ideal for the young opener's aggressive batting style.

Sharma enters the series in scintillating form, having recently amassed 314 runs at a staggering strike rate of 200 during the Asia Cup. His inclusion in the T20I squad highlights his growing stature in the white-ball format. This endorsement from a global icon like De Villiers underscores the high expectations surrounding the SRH star as he prepares to open the innings alongside Shubman Gill in the five-match series.
