    Abhishek Sharma Adds Bowling Threat, Claims Two Wickets in India's Warm-Up Victory

    Analysis by Third Umpire·February 5, 2026

    Sunrisers Hyderabad star Abhishek Sharma showcased his growing utility as an all-rounder during India's commanding 30-run victory over South Africa in a T20 World Cup warm-up match. Known primarily for his explosive batting, the left-handed opener contributed a quick 24 runs before surprising many by taking the ball and delivering a crucial spell.

    Abhishek secured two wickets for 32 runs across three overs, dismissing Jason Smith and Marco Jansen. This performance highlights the depth of India's squad and the versatility of players like Abhishek, who can contribute significantly with both bat and ball, adding another dimension to his already impressive T20 profile.

    Abhishek Sharma 'Ready for All Three Formats,' Says Michael Clarke

    "I said about 12 months ago that Abhishek Sharma is ready for all three formats. And that’s easy to say, but there’s got to be an available spot to be able to walk in and play. What I mean is he’s good enough, certainly talented, and knows his game well enough to adapt to Test cricket, one-day cricket, and T20 cricket; it’s just a matter of time."
