Abhishek Sharma managed to play a big innings in the third match of the 4-match T20 series against South Africa. In the first match of the series, he scored only 7 runs off 8 balls. After this, in the second match, he faced only 5 balls and returned to the pavilion after scoring 4 runs. But this time he spent time on the crease and also scored runs at a fast pace. But he lost his wicket in the 9th over of the innings. Let us tell you, if he had accepted one thing said by Tilak Verma in this over, the result could have been different.

Abhishek did not listen to Tilak

Abhishek Sharma played an explosive innings at Supersport Park in Centurion. In this match, he faced 25 balls and scored 50 runs at a strike rate of 200.00. Abhishek Sharma's innings included 3 fours and 5 sixes. But Abhishek Sharma lost his wicket in the 9th over of the innings. He was made his victim by Keshav Maharaj. Abhishek came out of the crease to hit a big shot on the fourth ball of this over, but Heinrich Klaasen stumped him, due to which his explosive innings came to an end.

Let us tell you, before the ball on which Abhishek Sharma was out, Tilak Verma was on strike. Tilak Verma played a shot towards long on on the third ball of the over. He wanted to take 2 runs on this ball, for which he also ran at a fast speed, but Abhishek Sharma refused to take 2 runs. If Abhishek Sharma had shown agility, then there could have been two runs. If this had happened then the result could have been different.

Touched the 50 run mark after 7 innings

The start of international career was not very special for Abhishek Sharma. He was out without opening his account in his first T20 match. After this, he scored a brilliant century in the second match. But after this, he could not score a single half-century in 7 innings of 8 matches. But now this long wait of Abhishek Sharma is over. Let us tell you, he could not touch the score of 20 even once in the last 7 innings. In such a situation, this half-century will work to increase his confidence.
