Abhishek Sharma has displayed his six hitting quality once again in the ongoing 4th T20I game between India and South Africa. He has hit a monstrous six off Andile Similane in the fourth over of the first innings which landed on the terrace of the Joburg Stadium. The crowd went crazy after watching the six going out of the ground. He batted quite confidently while playing on 36 runs but Sipamla dismissed him by taking the pace off the ball.
However, the six will be remembered by everyone as Abhishek lifted it over extra cover. The ball was a low full toss, almost around the yorker length but the young lad picked it up really well and placed it on the stadium's roof.
India were onto a great start with fireworks from both ends by Abhishek and Sanju Samson. Both made a partnership of 73 runs in 5.5 overs before Abhishek was dismissed. Samson has continued the aggressive approach, batting on 65 runs off 31 balls, including five boundaries and five sixes. As we write, India have scored 135 runs in 10.1 overs.
Tilak Varma has shown perfect support to Samson by scoring 25 runs off 11 balls, hitting two boundaries and two sixes. He has been a brilliant top order batter, giving company to the strikers, Abhishek and Samson.
Putting runs on the board and defending is something we have been wanting to do: Suryakumar Yadav
India's skipper Suryakumar Yadav spoke about the team's performance during the toss time. He revealed that batting first has suited them really well. India's batting has been quite impressive with young players coming forward and showing their talent in the series.
"The plan has been clear from the first game. Putting runs on the board and defending is something we have been wanting to do. It is a quick turnaround, one day gap between the games but the boys are professionals and are taking care of themselves," said Suryakumar Yadav.
