Why is Abhishek Sharma struggling for form? Nasser Hussain explains |Sports Today

Former England captain Nasser Hussain feels that Abhishek Sharma's poor run of form is down to a mental issue after he was dismissed for a duck against the Netherlands on Wednesday, February 18. Abhishek's recent performances have drawn attention as India prepares for the Super 8 stage of the T20 World Cup 2026. The Indian opener has registered three consecutive ducks, raising concerns about his batting form heading into the crucial phase of the tournament against South Africa. During the group stage match against the Netherlands, off-spinner Aryan Dutt cleaned up Abhishek in the first over. The Indian opener rejoined the squad for the match against Pakistan in Colombo but was dismissed by off-spinner Salman Ali Agha. These struggles have now resulted in Sharma recording five ducks in his last seven T20I innings, including two during the home series against New Zealand before the World Cup. Former England captain Nasser Hussain weighed in on the situation, suggesting the issue may be more psychological than technical.
