India Debates Abhishek Sharma's Place Ahead of T20 World Cup Semi-Final vs England

India secured a spot in the T20 World Cup 2026 semi-finals despite opener Abhishek Sharma's ongoing poor form, scoring 80 runs in six matches with an average of 13.33. While some experts and fans question his place, team management and captain Suryakumar Yadav support retaining him for the semi-final against England, citing his strike rate and role in the powerplay. Alternatives like Ishan Kishan are considered if changes occur, but no final decision has been announced.
