After Sunday’s India -Pakistan clash in Dubai Abhishek Sharma has become a household name in both the countries. Now, He is known as a tormentor after a thrashing 74 off just 39 balls, which steered India again to earn a comfortable six-wicket victory in the Super-four clash against Pakistan in Dubai.
Abhishek not only hit sixes but responded to sledging attempts by Haris Rauf and Shaheen Afridi with words of his own.
Tension was evident from the first over. Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma walked out with intent, while Pakistan’s Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf met them with stares and words. Abhishek responded immediately, striking over the boundary and exchanging words with Afridi.
Soon, both Indian openers exchanged words with the Pakistani bowlers.
If the battle on the field wasn’t enough, Abhishek made sure to carry the momentum off it too. Hours after sealing the six-wicket win, he posted pictures from the match with a simple caption, ‘You talk, we win,’ and the post became viral.
In his post-match chat, Abhishek made it clear, saying, “The way they were coming out to us without any reason, I did not like it at all. That’s why I went after them. I wanted to deliver for the team.”
His words summed up India’s night in Dubai. Pakistan had started with fire, racing to 91 for the loss of one wicket inside 10 overs, but ended with only 171 on the board as the Indian bowlers clawed back. In reply, India’s openers turned the chase into a spectacle.
