Ravichandran Ashwin praised Abhishek Sharma for his fearless and aggressive stroke style. Ashwin spoke on his YouTube channel and expressed excitement to see how Sharma’s attacking approach performs in the current circumstances.

Shubman Gill has a big chance to end up as the highest run scorer – Ravichandran Ashwin
During the same video, Ravichandran Ashwin said that vice-captain Shubman Gill will be under pressure on his return to the T20i side of India. Ashwin, however, added that Gill can become one of the leading Run scorers of the tournament.
“There will be some pressure on Shubman Gill to score runs. So with a success rate of 140-150, he has a big chance to finish as the highest runter of the tournament,” Ashwin said.
Shubman Gill has not been on display in T20Is in T20i’s since July. However, he delivered impressive performance in IPL 2025 and the English test series, scored 578 runs in 21 T20i matches with an average of 30.42 and a success rate of 139.27.
It is expected that Gill will be opened next to Abhishek Sharma at the top of the Batting Order of India, where Sanju Samson is likely to be dropped or the order is pushed down. The Gill-Sharma Duo wants to offer consistent, strong starts for India during the tournament.
