365telugu.com online news,september,24th,2025:Abhishek Sharma’s scintillating performances in the Asia Cup have thrust him into contention for an India ODI debut, potentially as early as the Australia series starting October 19. The 25-year-old left-hander has scored 173 runs in four matches at a remarkable strike rate of 208.43, raising eyebrows and putting pressure on the established batting lineup.
Sharma’s domestic credentials are equally impressive. In List A cricket, he has amassed 2,014 runs in 61 matches at an average of 35.33 with a strike rate of 99.21, alongside 38 wickets with his left-arm spin. His explosive innings against Pakistan in the Super 4s—where he shared a 105-run opening stand with Shubman Gill in just 9.5 overs—further highlighted his ability to perform under pressure.
Key questions now dominate discussions among fans and cricket analysts:
- Who could make way if Sharma is added to the squad?
- Will he open alongside Shubman Gill, potentially replacing Rohit Sharma?
- How will this affect Yashasvi Jaiswal and the overall team composition for the series?
Selection chairman Ajit Agarkar, currently in Dubai, is expected to announce the squad soon. Meanwhile, debates continue on whether Sharma’s Asia Cup form warrants immediate inclusion in the ODI team.
