Abhishek Sharma’s century on Sunday, according to former Zimbabwean cricketer and current coach of the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), has increased rivalry for the top-order places. “Well, [Yashasvi] Jaiswal is still appearing in the series, is he not? Thus, the Indian selectors and all of the Indian supporters are specifically searching for that kind of competition. According to an ANI report, Flower, the former captain of Zimbabwe, remarked on Sony Sports, “It makes it really interesting and it’s great for the Indian game.”

According to the article, Andy stated that Abhishek ought to feel assured following an outstanding Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 and scoring a century for his country in just his second international match. As a young player, getting those runs is crucial since success is mostly dependent on your confidence and self-belief. Flower continued, “I am so happy for him and I am looking forward to seeing more of him in this series.”
Abhinav Mukund, a former opener for India, expressed satisfaction that the young batter did not alter his style of play following a disappointing debut. He didn’t make an effort to do anything different from his household activities. Although I am aware that the Indian Premier competition is an excellent competition with extremely high standards, international cricket is a totally different animal. He has come here and performed the same actions that we have often witnessed back home, and he has an impressive 100 runs in international cricket, Mukund noted. Before Wednesday’s third Twenty20 International, players Jaiswal, Sanju Samson, and Shivam Dube—members of the Indian side that won the ICC T20 World Cup—will be joining the team.
