Australia T20I captain Mitchell Marsh has heaped massive praise on Abhishek Sharma, who has been dealing in runs. The two teams will start the five-match T20I series on October 29 in Canberra.
Ahead of the series, Marsh opened up on the threat of Abhishek, saying that the young batter will be a challenge for his team, but they are looking forward to it.
“Abhishek is talented and has been outstanding for India and Sunrisers Hyderabad. He will be a challenge for us, but you want to test yourself against the best players in the world. We are looking forward to bowling against him,” Marsh said.
In 23 T20I innings, the southpaw has amassed 849 runs at an average of 36.91 with two hundreds and five fifties. He is the number one-ranked batter in the shortest format with 926 rating points.
Marsh also confirmed Josh Inglis’ availability for the series against India. He missed the T20I series against New Zealand due to a calf strain.
