T20 WC: 'His Shot Selection Getting Him Into Trouble,' Says Pathan On Abhishek's Off-spin Woes

T20 World Cup: Former Indian all-rounder Irfan Pathan has analysed Abhishek Sharma’s struggles against off-spinners in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2026, saying the opener’s shot selection has been the primary reason behind his early dismissals.

The No.1 T20I batter is yet to score a run in the tournament. He has registered three consecutive ducks so far. Abhishek's form will be in focus when India take on South Africa in their first Super8s match at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday.

“Abhishek Sharma is getting out to off-spinners. Against Pakistan and the Netherlands, off-spinners got him. The problem lies in his shot selection. His bat comes down from a high angle, and he is not looking to hit straight. He is trying to play across the wicket. That is getting him into trouble.
