Sharma notched a brilliant half-century under pressure while opening the innings for India during their Super 4s clash against arch-rivals Pakistan. The 25-year-old\u2019s knock of a 39-ball 74 was studded with six fours and five maximums as he hit the opposition bowlers for an array of shots.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Analysing the game and the players\u2019 performances, Ashwin, speaking on his YouTube channel, praised Sharma\u2019s style of play while adding that the youngster had just begun.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cAbhishek Sharma hit an inside-out MS Dhoni-style helicopter cover drive. Everybody will talk about the five sixes that he hit, but I want to talk about this cover drive, because there was finesse in this shot. Despite only having one bat swing, he can adjust his down swing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"If one batter, with one down swing, can make batting look so easy, then why will you not watch that batsman day in and day out. I want to tell you that this is not the arrival of Abhishek Sharma, this is just the beginning,\" said Ashwin.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Sharma stitched a 105-run opening stand with Shubman Gill as the duo sent the Pakistani bowlers to the cleaners. Their knocks made it easy for the middle-order batters to sail through the chase as India clinched their second win against their neighbours in the tournament.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
