Watch: Abhishek Sharma’s heated reaction after dismissal in IND vs WI 4th T20I

Abhishek Sharma wasn’t happy after his dismissal during the fourth T20I of the series against West Indies at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad as the hosts were after a massive chase of 248 runs. A few words were exchanged with the Indian opener, who wasn’t happy with the entire process. 

Abhishek had a tough time in the middle, during the knock of 29 runs off 24 balls. Meanwhile, the hosts, put in to bat first, posted a huge score of 247/3 in their allotted 20 overs, thanks to their captain Shai Hope’s superb knock of unbeaten 102 runs off 50 deliveries.

Abhishek Sharma frustrated at the crease as dismissal ends his innings

On the very first ball of the 12th over of the second innings, Abhishek carved the short and wide delivery from the left-arm spinner, Gudakesh Motie, and timed it over the point region and got a boundary for himself and the team, which they needed them the most.

After a dot delivery on the very next delivery, he looked to go big but failed to get the potential elevation and picked out the fielder at the wide long-off region. The southpaw was visibly frustrated with himself as he walked back. However, Roston Chase had a few words for him and pointed towards the pavilion.
