SRH Opener Abhishek Sharma’s Explosive Wankhede Form Tipped to Dominate India’s World Cup Opener

Sunrisers Hyderabad opener Abhishek Sharma is being highlighted as India's probable best batter ahead of their T20 World Cup opener against the USA, largely due to his explosive recent form at the Wankhede Stadium. The left-hander, who has been in the form of his life, is currently the top-ranked batter in the shortest format.

Abhishek's familiarity with the Wankhede pitch, a venue known for high scores, is a major advantage for the Indian team. During his last T20I appearance at the stadium, he smashed a blistering 135 runs off just 54 deliveries against England. This performance underscores his ability to provide explosive starts and put opposition bowlers under immediate pressure, a trait he consistently displayed for SRH.

As India begins its title defense, the team will rely heavily on Abhishek to continue his aggressive approach at the top of the order, setting a high scoring rate and capitalizing on the powerplay overs.
