IND vs SA, 1st T20I: The Indian national cricket team is currently facing South Africa national cricket team in the series opener of the four-match T20I series in Durban. The visitors are aiming to bounce back after suffering a hiumiliating home Test series loss to New Zealand last week.
Aiden Markram won the toss and chose to bowl first. The Men in Blue were looking for a flying start and were hoping that their openers would set the foundation for a huge total.
Abhishek Sharma failed to deliver
But Abhishek Sharma, who is often known for his aggressive batting style, couldn't live up to the expectations. The youngster once again failed to convert a good start.

On the first ball of the fourth over, Coetzee bowled a brilliant delivery, which had hit the off stump. Abhishek had put his front foot forward and mistimed the shot as the ball went up in the air towards mid-off. South African skipper Aiden Markram kept following the ball and took a brilliant catch by running bacjkwards and thus dismissed Sharma. The young batter was looking in good touch but was once again disappointed with his performances.
