They are considering bringing Samson back into the set up to deal with this off spin tactic against our top 3.

 

Nope! Stick with Abhishek. Samson is much worse. Jaiswal is the logical replacement for Abhishek and TBH he should've been in the squad all this while. Suryavanshi is the next best option after Jaiswal. Samson is not gonna do anything. In fact I would even pick Iyer as opener over Samson.

Gautam Gambhir Holds One-On-One Chat With Abhishek Sharma After 3 Ducks, Management Breaks Silence On Star's Poor Form

Abhishek Sharma is yet to open his account in the current edition of the tournament and during Friday's training, he was seen spending considerable time with head coach Gautam Gambhir.

 

When asked if there's discussion in general within the team on Abhishek, Morkel denied emphatically.

"Absolutely no discussion. He's a world class player. So far in the tournament, luckily, there's been some guys standing up for Abhishek (others scoring runs)," Morkel told the media.

However, he agreed that Abhishek needs to score runs as they enter the business end of the tourney.

"But we're going through a very important phase of the World Cup now and we expect him to do well.

"And I'm pretty sure, not just for the team, but also for all the viewers watching the game. Because he's (Abhishek) entertaining, and we love to see that.

"So yeah, I'm pretty sure he's hitting the ball well. It's just a matter of getting that start and Abhishek will get going," Morkel said.

Suryakumar, head coach Gautam Gambhir and the support staff were glued to the nets. The focus underlined how crucial it is for India to have Abhishek rediscover his rhythm. However, the session lasted only 20 minutes. Though he connected cleanly on a few shots, he “didn’t look content” while walking back, the report added.

 

For a batter who has dominated world-class attacks at a strike rate close to 200 over the past 15 months, the struggle to regain form appears real.

What did Surya say about Abhishek’s form?

If anything, Abhishek appears least likely to be benched despite the three ducks, with Suryakumar reiterating that the team is prepared to cover for him until he returns to his best.

“Those who are worried about Abhishek Sharma’s form, I am worried about them. I think about the teams he is going to play against. The rest, you already know the answer. You have all seen what happens when he gets going. It’s a team sport, so such things happen. The team’s requirement is that he plays with his identity, so that’s what he is trying to do. If it comes off, good; if not, we are all there to cover it. He covered for us all last year, now it’s our turn,” he said.

The captain also laughed off suggestions that Sanju Samson could replace Abhishek in the XI.

Luckily we got this guy. This guy doesn't pre-meditate much like Abhishek.
