Despite hitting a big Tom, Flower warns Abhishek Sharma of the competition
The IPL star Abhishek Sharma has managed to smash an amazing century in his second international match against Zimbabwe. The left-handed batsman, who had a forgettable debut match after registering a duck, bounced back in style in the second T20I against Zimbabwe, where he smashed a blistering century. With Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma bringing the curtains down on their T20I careers, a window of opportunity opened for the young guns to showcase their talent on the big stage.
Veteran Zimbabwe cricketer Andy Flower asserted that, with the Indian cricket team entering the transition phase, Jaiswal vs. Abhishek for the opening slot is the competition that everyone is looking out for.
Flower said, “Well, we have got Jaiswal still coming into the series, haven’t we? So that sort of competition is exactly what the Indian selectors and all the Indian followers are looking for. It makes it really interesting, and it’s great for the Indian game if they have lots of options like that.”
