“Real asset going forward”: Former Australian player praises Abhishek Sharma
Sunrisers Hyderabad registered a comfortable 36-run victory over Rajasthan Royals on Friday in the Qualifier 2 of the ongoing Indian Premier League to qualify into the final of the tournament. Leading an impressive bowling attack, SRH restricted RR to 139/7 in pursuit of 176. SRH’s spin attack was on full display, with Shahbaz Ahmed and Abhishek Sharma spinning the team into the final.
Abhishek Sharma, known for his attacking batting abilities, unleashed his bowling mastery, taking 2 for 24 to make a match-winning contribution.
Abhishek Sharma repaid the faith after captain Cummins threw the ball to him. Abhishek Sharma’s contribution in SRH’s victories has been immense largely with the bat, having fired 42 sixes, the most this season. Seeing his skills, former Australian cricketer Tom Moody heaped praises on Sharma.
"He backs himself 100%. Yes, he doesn't bowl as much as he needs to bowl in domestic cricket for whatever reasons but for the future of Indian cricket he needs to be bowling because he is a serious package to be reckoned with. [Bats] at the top of the order, someone who can bowl left-arm spin whatever the format, he's going to be a real asset going forward,” Tom Moody said on ESPNcricinfo.
