Hesson’s Prediction on Abhishek Sharma
In Mike Hesson‘s interview with Starcast, JioCinema, Sunrisers Hyderabad’s Director of Cricket Operations singled out Abhishek Sharma, especially his mastery over the cricketing art of playing spin during powerplays. This was a bold gesture by Hesson, noting that Sharma could be with Team India after the T20 World Cup.
He praised Abhishek, especially for his talent as a boundary hitter and six-hitter. Hesson also applauded Sharma’s accomplishments at the international level.
If Abhishek Sharma manages to make the Indian team after the T20 World Cup, the team’s batting will undergo drastic changes.

He could possibly be the first batsman at the top of the order if required.
He could also fill Virat Kohli’s middle-order spot and be crucial to the team’s bowling attack.
