Indian opener Abhishek Sharma found himself under fire from fans on Twitter following yet another disappointing performance in T20I cricket. The young left-hander failed to get going in India’s second T20I against South Africa, played at St George’s Park in Gqeberha on November 10. India and South Africa are competing in a four-match T20I series, and this second encounter saw India struggling after being put in to bat, with both openers failing to make an impact.

India lost Sanju Samson early in the innings, leaving Abhishek Sharma with a golden opportunity to anchor the innings and provide stability. However, he couldn’t capitalize on the moment. Facing just five deliveries, Sharma scored only 4 runs, including one boundary, before succumbing to Gerald Coetzee.

Gerald Coetzee delivered a short ball on off-stump, tempting Sharma to go for a pull shot. Unfortunately, Sharma mistimed it, getting a top edge that easily landed in the hands of Marco Jansen at short fine leg. The dismissal added to Sharma’s inconsistent record in the format, drawing strong reactions from fans on social media. Despite his initial promise and reputation as a power hitter, Sharma has struggled to find consistency.

His T20I career so far has been marked by a mixture of highs and lows. He began with a disappointing debut but quickly turned heads by scoring a sensational century in his second innings. However, his performances have dipped considerably since, with only 70 runs across his last eight outings. His recent scores – 0, 100, 10, 14, 16, 15, 4, 7, and 4 – highlight the inconsistency that has frustrated fans and selectors alike.

The lack of consistent scoring has become a talking point among Indian cricket fans, many of whom took to Twitter to express their discontent. Some pointed out that Ruturaj Gaikwad, a promising player with a more stable record, has been overlooked in favor of Sharma, who has struggled to replicate his early success since that lone century against Zimbabwe.

Fan reactions ranged from calls for Sharma to be dropped to demands for more reliable players in the T20I lineup. As Sharma faces growing scrutiny, the pressure is on for him to prove himself in the upcoming games, or he may soon find his place in the team at risk.
