Abhishek Sharma reveals what he wants to steal from Virat Kohli ahead of Ranchi T20I vs WI

India’s Abhishek Sharma has set his sights on emulating batting legend Virat Kohli ahead of the second T20I against the West Indies in Ranchi, revealing he wants to adopt every facet of Kohli’s game. The stylish opener, who has already made a mark with two centuries and six fifties in T20Is at home, is just 10 runs shy of 1,000 runs in the format domestically.

Sharma, who also bowls occasional off-spin, has previously drawn inspiration from other cricketing greats—like Yuvraj Singh’s match-winning ability and MS Dhoni’s finishing skills—while admiring Chris Gayle’s versatility and Andre Russell’s all-round prowess. Meanwhile, India’s series opener saw an eight-wicket triumph in Kanpur, with Shreyas Iyer’s century leading the charge, as the Men in Blue look to build momentum ahead of Thursday’s clash at the JSCA International Stadium Complex.
