India Likely to Retain Abhishek Sharma for T20 World Cup Final Despite Form Concerns

Ahead of the T20 World Cup final against New Zealand, India is expected to retain opener Abhishek Sharma despite his recent poor form, including multiple low scores and a stomach infection that disrupted his rhythm. While critics and former players like Mohammad Amir have questioned his technique, supporters including Kapil Dev and Ravichandran Ashwin urge backing him to regain confidence. Sanju Samson's consistent performance contrasts Abhishek's struggles, but team management prefers not to alter the winning combination for the final.
