Abhishek Sharma dismissed for another duck against Netherlands
Netherlands spinner Salman Ali Agha trapped him
This his third consecutive duck in ICC T20 World Cup 2026
Star Indian opener Abhishek Sharma's bizarre run of off form continues as he departed without scoring yet again during the India vs Netherlands ICC T20 World Cup 2026 Group A match 36 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on February 18, Wednesday. Netherlands spinner Aryan Dutta started the attack and clinched the breakthrough.
Moving on the lines of Pakistan captain Salman Ali Agha, Netherlands skipper Scott Edwards handed the ball to Aryan Dutt. On a fresh surface, Aryan's balls skidded through. After two dot ball, Abhishek Sharma was desperate to get a move on. He tried to swat the ball cross batted but it kept low enough to wreck his stumps.
