Abhishek Sharma, known for his fearless, attacking approach in the powerplay, has faced Jansen eight times in T20 cricket and boasts a strike rate exceeding 200 against him.

This matchup highlights the aggressive mindset Abhishek brings to the top of the order, a trait that SRH relies on heavily. Fans will be eager to see if the young Indian opener can maintain his dominance over the tall South African quick on the global stage.
