Kris Srikkanth’s Sharp Message To Indian Batters After Abhishek Sharma’s Standout Knock
Raga News Zone | New Delhi
Former India cricketer and ex-selector Kris Srikkanth has sent a blunt message to India’s batting unit following Abhishek Sharma’s impressive performance, saying there is a “huge difference” between fearless intent and tentative batting at the international level.
Reacting to Abhishek’s attacking approach, Srikkanth praised the youngster for backing his natural game and putting pressure on the opposition from the very start. He said such intent is what separates modern match-winners from batters who struggle to dominate bowlers.
Srikkanth pointed out that Abhishek’s innings highlighted how positive mindset and clarity of role can change the momentum of a game. According to him, several Indian batters need to take note and play with greater freedom rather than focusing only on survival.
The former opener stressed that in the current era of limited-overs cricket, especially T20s, strike rate and intent matter as much as technique. He added that Abhishek’s heroics underlined the importance of trusting young players who are willing to take risks.
Cricket experts echoed Srikkanth’s views, stating that Abhishek Sharma’s approach reflects the direction in which modern Indian batting needs to evolve to stay competitive at the highest level.
As India looks ahead to upcoming international assignments, Srikkanth’s remarks are being seen as a clear message to the batting lineup: embrace aggression, show intent early, and adapt to the demands of contemporary cricket.
