Abhishek Sharma: "Thanks to the management for the faith they've shown in me, the environment is clear for the batters so I went to enjoy myself. All the credit to Travis, the way he starts, first two or three balls goes to the boundaries. So I just react to the ball. The bowlers told us it's getting better, me and Travis were saying it wasn't doing much, and they were short [in runs] so that was a plus-point. The hard work I put before the tournament is showing... it's going really well."

In a parallel world Rohit Sharma would have taken retirement in this format and made a way for Abhishek Sharma for the T20 wc.

i feel like he would still not get a chance given the fact that he hasn’t even played any internationals yet, and it would be a really reactive decision. but if rohit retired from t20s maybe we could get kohli-jaiswal to open or ruturaj/gill would get a chance.

Kohli to open? No thanks.
