T20I skipper Suryakumar looks forward to next few months of cricketing action, praises "game-changer" Abhishek Sharma
Sep 29, 2025
Having already shattered plenty of records in T20I cricket, Suryakumar registered first major feather in his cap with the T20I Asia Cup win by beating Pakistan by five-wickets in a tense title clash at Dubai on Wednesday. Alongside the feared spin bowling trio of Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav and Varun Chakravarthy, it was opener Abhishek Sharma's fearless hitting which proved to be a point of difference between India and others. He managed a chart-topping 314 runs in six innings with three fifties, averaging 44.85 and striking at 200, having the second-best T20I tournament by an Indian after Virat Kohli's 319-run campaign in the ICC T20 World Cup 2014.
