Internet Desk: New Zealand cricketer Mark Chapman.. href="https://www.eenadu.net/topic/abhishek-sharma" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Abhishek Sharma) was showered with praise. He appreciated his six hitting ability. Chapman believes that there is a clear planning behind his shots. 
'To be honest.. their batting is amazing and destructive. Especially Abhishek Sharma's six hitting ability is amazing. His planning in this matter is good. He is currently playing excellent cricket. It is sometimes very difficult to stop a good player from scoring runs. We definitely hope to improve,' said Chapman. 

'We have to think about scoring big. The pitches are good. But sometimes in India the ball gets rolling. So we have to be ready for everything. It is good to face one of the best T20 teams in the world, Team India as part of preparations for T20 World Cup ( ICC Mens T20 World Cup) 2026. So we learn a lot from them,' said Chapman. 

  • Thank you Kiwis.. they came at the right time!

We lost two wickets early in the power play. It doesn't make sense. But all the credit goes to the Indian bowlers. They bowled really well and kept us for no runs. "We couldn't move the ball to the boundaries," said Chapman. 

Team India won the first toss and chose to bowl in the third T20 at Guwahati. Batting first, New Zealand scored only 153 runs, losing 9 wickets in the allotted overs. After that, the Indian team started to attack and made 155 runs after losing 2 wickets in just 10 overs. In this match, Team India won by 8 wickets. In this match, Abhishek Sharma burst into flames. He remained unbeaten with 68 runs in 20 balls with the help of 7 fours and 5 sixes. With captain Suryakumar Yadav ( Suryakumar Yadav) he put on a 102-run partnership for the third wicket in just 40 balls. Team India has already won the five T20 series by 3-0. The fourth T20 will be held in Visakhapatnam on Wednesday and the final T20 in Thiruvananthapuram on Saturday.
