Abhishek Sharma & Prabhsimran Singh: Opening for Punjab in Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25
Match Date | Opponent | Runs (Balls) | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
December 21, 2024 | Arunachal Pradesh | 14(9) | Low score |
December 23, 2024 | Nagaland | 0(1) | Dismissed quickly |
December 26, 2024 | Karnataka | 39(41) | Steady, but not a big score |
December 28, 2024 | Mumbai | 150(131) | First big partnership |
December 31, 2024 | Saurashtra | 298(186) | Near-record partnership |
January 3, 2025 | Hyderabad | 196(145) | Dominant performance |
They came very close to achieving something memorable against Saurashtra by nearly setting a new record for the highest partnership in the tournament, missing out by just two runs to hit 300.
Prabhsimran has been doing really well, hitting three centuries back to back in his latest games. His batting average is at an amazing 118, with a strike rate of 135, which is really great. While Abhishek may not have turned his half-centuries into full ones, he's still hitting the ball consistently well, boasting an average of 66 and a strike rate above 140.
The duo is really helping each other, benefiting not simply themselves but the entire team, improving their personal scores in the process.
Because Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli might rest for the ODI series, Abhishek and Prabhsimran have an opportunity to join not only the T20I group but also getting a chance in the 50 over team, if those senior players rest or can't play. The great run they're having could help them seal a spot in the Indian team for the upcoming matches against England in both the ODI and T20I series.
