NEW DELHI, FEB 21: India captain Suryakumar Yadav stood firmly behind struggling opener Abhishek Sharma despite three consecutive ducks in T20 World Cup 2026, saying the team owes him big time.
“He covered for us all year, now it’s our turn to back him,” SKY declared ahead of Super 8 clashes. Abhishek’s lean patch hasn’t shaken the leadership after his explosive IPL form and consistent international contributions.
With India eyeing history as defending champions, Suryakumar’s vote of confidence signals no changes in the top order despite the batting woes. “His bat talks loudly when it fires,” SKY added.
