Ashwin Urges ODI Chance for Abhishek Sharma After Standout T20 Year

Ashwin says Abhishek Sharma's 2025 surge makes a 50-over debut the logical next step.

Overview

  • On his YouTube show, Ashwin labeled Abhishek Sharma India's next-generation X-factor and his pick for 2025 men's player of the year.
  • He cited Sharma's powerplay impact and Asia Cup dominance, where the left-hander topped the runs chart with 314.
