    'He's 25, Not 20 Anymore': ABD Urges Abhishek To Take More Responsibility Ahead Of IPL 2026

    Former Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former South Africa player AB de Villiers believes that India batter Abhishek Sharma has reached a stage in his career where he must take greater responsibility and deal better with pressure, especially after an inconsistent run in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup.

    Abhishek, who was struggling for runs in India's triumphant World Cup campaign, has been named vice- captain of Sunrisers Hyderabad ahead of the 19th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL), which will commence on March 28.

    “He’s 25, not 20 anymore. So, this is definitely the phase where he has to start taking more responsibility. There will be media pressure and people asking him to become more consistent. We know he was a little inconsistent during the T20 World Cup, which was disappointing. He had a good finish in the final, but otherwise, it was a quiet tournament for him. He was erratic at times," De Villiers said on JioHotstar.
