Abhishek Sharma: Abhishek Sharma's hat-trick of zeros in cricket history, a unique record in T20 World Cup

India's young opener Abhishek Sharma, known as the world's number one batsman in T20 cricket, is currently facing the worst phase of his career. In the T20 World Cup 2026 tournament, he played three consecutive matches and was dismissed for zero in each match, becoming the world's most 'unfortunate' batsman. In these three matches against the USA, Pakistan, and the Netherlands, he couldn't score a single run, raising questions about his place in the team.

Before the competition, Abhishek's bat was shining and sports experts were calling him India's trump card. Since the T20 series against New Zealand, his form has been eclipsed, with strike rate and playing style becoming a concern from the practice matches. This young player, who has been dismissed for zero five times in the last seven innings, has now surpassed KL Rahul to record the most zeros (six) among Indian T20 players. Rohit Sharma leads with ten zeros, but compared to his 124 innings, Abhishek's 38 innings is alarming.
