T20 WC: Back The Player Or Chase The Title? India’s Abhishek Sharma Dilemma

By IANS News March 06, 2026 • 15:04 PM View: 160

ICC T20 World Cup: When the stakes are at their highest, every selection decision becomes a talking point. As India prepare for the ICC T20 World Cup finale, a heated debate has taken over the cricketing world; should the team continue backing Abhishek Sharma despite his lean run or make a bold change by bringing in Rinku Singh?

With the trophy on the line, the question has split fans and experts alike.

Abhishek's numbers in the tournament make for uncomfortable reading. In seven matches, the left-hander has managed scores of 0, 0, 0, 15, 55, 10 and 9, a total of just 89 runs at an average of 12.71.
