Suryakumar Yadav Encourages Abhishek Sharma After Zimbabwe T20I Struggles
India opener Abhishek Sharma admitted feeling hurt after a disappointing T20I series against Zimbabwe, where he scored just 11 runs in three matches. Former India captain Suryakumar Yadav offered encouragement, advising Sharma to stay true to himself and reminding him of his past contributions. Sharma's opening partner, 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, was named Player of the Series after scoring 151 runs, including a match-winning 81 in the final game. All three players are named in India's upcoming Asian Games squad.
