India Target South Africa Top Order, Abhishek Sharma To Come Good: Bowling Coach

By AFP News February 21, 2026 • 08:54 AM View: 261

India's bowlers will target early wickets against South Africa, said bowling coach Morne Morkel on Friday as he predicted that their out-of-form opener Abhishek Sharma would be back among the runs soon.

Sunday will see what he termed a "mouth-watering" rematch of the T20 World Cup final two years ago, won by India, when the teams clash in the Super Eights in Ahmedabad.
