Former New Zealand head coach Mike Hesson predicted that Abhishek Sharma will break into Team India's playing XI in the shortest format of the game after the T20 World Cup 2024. Abhishek continued his brilliant form in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL 2024) on Wednesday, May 8, as he smashed an unbeaten 75 off 28 balls against Lucknow Super Giants at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium to help Sunrisers Hyderabad register a comprehensive win with 10 wickets and 62 balls to spare. Travis Head also played an excellent knock of 89* off 30 balls to help the SRH chase down a 166-run target effortlessly. Abhishek currently has 401 runs from 12 innings at an average of 36.45 and has a strike rate of 205.64. He might not have been picked in India's T20 World Cup 2024 squad, but Hesson feels his time will come after the T20 marquee event.

Star Sunrisers Hyderabad opener Abhishek Sharma has scored 401 runs from 12 innings this season at an average of 36.45 with a strike rate of 205.64. He surpassed the 400-run mark after a great innings. Mike Hesson believes that Abhishek's time will come after the T20 World Cup 2024 despite not being picked for the squad. The 49-year-old believes that the Punjab all-rounder could either bat at No. 3 or compete with Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill for an opening spot.

"Oh, look, I think so. I mean, I think his ability to take on spin in the power play. And he's improved greatly against pace. He is a high-quality player. He's a boundary hitter. He is a six-hitter and no doubt post World Cup, and he will start to make some changes, whether it be Jaiswal himself or Shubman Gill. To be fair, there's a few. There's plenty of names, but he will definitely be one that will have plenty of people talking about," Hesson also made a massive prediction, stating that Abhishek could be in the Team India squad post-T20 World Cup," Mike Hesson said.
