Ahmedabad – In the Super 8 stage of the T20 World Cup 2026, the Indian team is set to face South Africa on Sunday at the Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium. Although India secured the top position in the group stage to qualify for the Super 8, concerns persist regarding the opening partnership.
Ahead of the tournament, Abhishek Sharma was in outstanding form and held the top spot in the ICC T20 batting rankings. However, in the three matches played so far, he has been dismissed without scoring on each occasion. His continued struggles at the crease have intensified India’s opening concerns, compelling the team management to explore possible solutions to address the issue.
