Star opener Abhishek Sharma has come under heavy criticism and trolling for his below-par fielding. Abhishek Sharma dropped not just one but two simple catches during the innings, putting himself under the spotlight in the ongoing match. The first mistake came on the fifth ball of the over bowled by Jasprit Bumrah, when he spilt an easy catch offered by Roston Chase.
Abhishek Sharma missed another chance to score big and was out after making only 10 runs during India’s crucial Super 8 clash in the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 against the West Indies cricket team. The must-win encounter for the India national cricket team is being played at Eden Gardens in Kolkata, where its fielding errors and another Batting Failure have drawn sharp reactions from fans.
Check out the reactions:
One thing that’s becoming visible with Abhishek Sharma, he doesn’t yet seem to have reliable release shots when the pressure builds.
When a few dot balls pile up, instead of rotating strike or resetting the tempo, he looks forced into a big shot… and he throws his wicket.… pic.twitter.com/kBXsjTuShy
