Amir questions Indian batter's technique ahead of clash
14 Feb
Summary
- Mohammad Amir called Abhishek Sharma a 'slogger' and questioned his technique.
- Abhishek Sharma is currently recovering from a stomach infection.
- Ahmed Shehzad offered a contrasting view, praising Abhishek's batting.
Ahead of a significant T20 World Cup encounter, former Pakistan bowler Mohammad Amir has voiced strong opinions regarding Indian batter Abhishek Sharma. Amir described Sharma as a 'slogger,' criticizing his defensive capabilities and asserting that the young player primarily relies on powerful swings without a solid technique.
Amir further elaborated that Sharma's true test would be performing in challenging overseas conditions like those in South Africa, England, and New Zealand. He stated that he would readily acknowledge Sharma as a proper batter if he could demonstrate consistent success in such environments.
In contrast to Amir's assessment, Pakistan's veteran batter Ahmed Shehzad offered a different perspective. Shehzad expressed his liking for Abhishek Sharma, suggesting that Amir might find it relatively easy to dismiss the Indian opener.
Adding to team concerns, Abhishek Sharma is currently recuperating from a stomach infection. This illness has already caused him to miss a previous match and casts doubt on his availability for the upcoming high-stakes game. His readiness will be determined by his recovery progress and performance in upcoming training sessions.
