Sometimes when bad times are going on then all the efforts go in vain and only failure comes in hand. This happens often in cricket, no matter how big a star someone is. Something similar is currently happening with star Indian batsman Abhishek Sharma. (Photo: PTI)

Abhishek Sharma, who was a hit with his explosive batting in the IPL 2024 season, created a similar stir in international cricket for about one and a half years. But the start of 2026 has not been good for him and he is struggling not only to score runs but also to open the account. (Photo: PTI)

After being out on 0 for three consecutive times in the T20 World Cup 2026, Abhishek had made some comeback but now the 'duck' is not leaving him in the IPL too. He became the victim of Mohammed Shami in the very first over against Lucknow Super Giants. (Photo: PTI)

In this way, this is the sixth time in 2026 that he could not open his account in any match. In the T20 match series that started from January 21 to April 5, Abhishek has played a total of 14 T20 matches in 75 days and was out at 0 6 times. He could not open his account twice against New Zealand also. (Photo: PTI)

Although Abhishek has played only 3 matches in IPL 2026, but in these 3 innings he has been able to score only 55 runs at an average of 18. Earlier, he had scored 48 runs against KKR and only 7 runs against RCB. (Photo: PTI)
