Yuvraj Singh Impressed With Abhishek Sharma After Heroics vs Zimbabwe; Gives Big Message Ahead of West Indies Clash

T20 World Cup 2026: India opener Abhishek Sharma made a return to form in the must-win Super 8 T20 World Cup clash versus Zimbabwe in Chennai. Abhishek hit a brilliant 55 off 30 balls and it seemed he found his touch. His blitz was laced with four boundaries and four sixes. 

While Abhishek's form could be decisive going ahead, his mentor Yuvraj Singh lavished praise on the India opener and asked him to ‘keep pushing’. Yuvraj also said that the best chatter is when one allows the bat to do the talking. There is no doubt that this piece of motivation from Yuvraj is bound to egg on Abhishek going ahead.

‘Keep Pushing’

“The best chatter is when you let the bat do all the talking. Good innings, sir Abhishek, keep pushing,” Yuvraj wrote on Instagram Stories.

Abhishek, who is the No. 1 T20I batter in the world, was expected to do big things at the T20 World Cup. But unfortunately, his tournament started with three consecutive ducks. After three matches, he finally got his first runs of the marquee event versus South Africa in the Super 8 stage. Now that he has got a fifty to his credit, it should motivate him to do well in the games that lie ahead.
