Indian Team Kept The Belief Going That Abhishek Will Come Good One Day, Says Kotak
T20 World Cup: India batting coach Sitanshu Kotak credited the team’s culture and unwavering belief in ensuring that Abhishek Sharma would come good one day during their successful 2026 Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 campaign after enduring a difficult start to the competition.
Abhishek, the swashbuckling top-ranked T20I batter, struggled to get going in the tournament, especially after suffering from a stomach infection. He scored just one fifty and bagged three ducks before shining in the title clash against New Zealand in Ahmedabad, by hitting 52 off 21 balls, including notching up his fifty off just 18 deliveries.
“Regarding Abhishek, that boy is mentally very tough. But he used to smile even if things weren’t going well for him. He got sick at the start of the tournament and did not get a run in four league matches. He was under pressure, but against Zimbabwe, I felt that he was trying to hit the ball hard because of his lack of form.
