Sanjay Bangar Hails SRH Star Abhishek Sharma as India’s 'Fearless' T20 Blueprint

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) all-rounder Abhishek Sharma has received high praise from former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar, who believes the young player embodies the aggressive, fearless T20 brand that India is aiming to adopt. Sharma, who topped the ICC T20 rankings in 2025 with 859 runs, has consistently impressed pundits with his aggressive intent, wide shot range, and all-round scoring ability.

Bangar's endorsement highlights Sharma's growing stature as a key component of India's future T20 setup, especially as the team prepares for the T20 World Cup. Sharma's career IPL strike rate of 137.38 reflects his ability to accelerate quickly and dominate attacks, making him an ideal fit for the modern, high-octane T20 game plan. His performances have also earned praise from other veterans like Suresh Raina and Cheteshwar Pujara, cementing his reputation as a rising star.
