T20 WC: Abhishek Will Look To Score Runs Against Archer On The Off-side, Says Pujara
T20 World Cup: Former India batter Cheteshwar Pujara has said Abhishek Sharma, with his remodelled stance, could look to counter the threat posed by England pacer Jofra Archer by scoring as many runs as possible through the off side when the Men's T20 World Cup semi-final takes place at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday evening.
Abhishek has enjoyed complete dominance over Archer in their head-to-head battles in T20Is, scoring 61 runs off 5 innings without being dismissed at a blistering strike rate of 185. Despite that, Archer has enjoyed success against India in T20Is by picking 14 wickets against them, his greatest number of scalps against any opponent.
“If you look at his stance, his front-foot toe is now facing towards cover, and his shoulders are straight. Earlier, his toe was pointing towards mid-off, and his shoulder was open. With the current stance, his hands are very close to his body, which is also allowing him to maintain good balance with his head.
