Former India batter turned commentator Cheteshwar Pujara has applauded Abhishek Sharma as a special talent with class, after the swashbuckling opener tore into the Delhi Capitals attack as well. Abhishek played a blistering knock of 135 off just 68 balls to assist SRH post 242\/2 and win the match by 47 runs.<\/p>\n
\u201cAbhishek Sharma played a superb knock to attain his second IPL hundred and his first this season. He makes centuries look easy,\u201d Pujara told JioHotstar. \u201cHis runs are crucial for SRH because they often result in wins. He’s a special talent. When he performs like this, his class is there for everybody to see. Only a few batters have the talent and sophistication that Abhishek Sharma has.\u201d<\/p>\n
Abhishek Sharma, the world No. 1 T20I batter, was in full form on Tuesday, smashing 10 sixes and as many fours as well. Abhishek also had the luck on his side, as a fumble behind the stumps by KL Rahul gave him a lifeline when he was batting on 50. And, former India spinner Harbhajan Singh believed that was the sport\u2019s turning point.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat missed run-out was a defining moment. If Abhishek Sharma had been dismissed, the sport could have looked very different. He went on to play an important innings and was the predominant reason behind that big total. When a team gets to 240-plus, it normally comes right down to moments like these, and this was the one which shifted the sport completely. He was well short, and a direct hit or throw could have modified all the pieces,\u201d further added Harbhajan.<\/p>\n
He also asked Indian bowlers to tighten their lines and sharpen their discipline to avoid being smashed in high-scoring games by the batters as well.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Indian bowlers haven’t any selection but to evolve. In the event that they don\u2019t level up, they may get punished. T20 cricket spares nobody. Batters keep adding recent shots and if Indian bowlers don\u2019t wish to be taken apart, they have to improve,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Nonetheless, he praised Anshul Kamboj of the Chennai Super Kings, who has managed to do well to date.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is sweet to see that the highest five bowlers within the \u2018Purple Cap\u2019 race are all Indians. Anshul Kamboj of Chennai Super Kings leads with 13 wickets. His bowling against Sunrisers Hyderabad was excellent. He used the round-the-wicket angle within the death overs to bowl to Heinrich Klaasen and didn’t let him free his arms. Young bowlers like Kamboj are showing a brand new solution to bowl in modern T20 cricket,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n
