Former India cricketer Rohan Gavaskar applauded Abhishek Sharma after his impactful knock in India’s Asia Cup 2025 match against Oman. The left-hander also played another solid innings while opening the batting. He scored 38 runs off 15 balls at a strike-rate of 253.33 with five boundaries and two maximums as well.

“Without a doubt. He is the guy who is going to get you off to a good start. Abhishek Sharma knows that if he ats for 10 overs, then score is not going to be 55-60. That is guaranteed. No wonder he is our number one player. He is a match-winner. More than anything else, he is a match-winner with oodles of X factor,” Rohan Gavaskar said on Cricbuzz.

However, Rohan Gavaskar also applauded the Indian team for having multiple match-winners as well. He added that the number of match-winners is such that even Sanju Samson had to be sent up in the order to get an opportunity to bat as well.

“The beauty of this Indian team is, we pushed someone like Sanju Samson up because he was not getting a chance to bat. What a match-winner he is. This team has match-winners and that is why we are such a strong unit. It’s not about just consistent performers. You can be consistent. But these guys, just the way they bat, you have got to judge people on their good days, not their bad days. When Abhishek Sharma gets going, there is no stopping him,” Rohan Gavaskar concluded.
