[WATCH] Abhishek Sharma skips sister's wedding to represent India as emotional video call goes viral
Abhishek Sharma, the left-handed opening batter of the Indian side, has skipped his sister's wedding for his chance to represent India as the emotional video call to Abhishek to his sister goes viral on social media.
The young left-handed opening batter of the Indian side, Abhishek Sharma, who won the ‘Player of the Tournament’ award after his heroics in the Asia Cup 2025 with the bat, helped the Suryakumar Yadav-led side win the title as they defeated Pakistan in the final of the tournament at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Abhishek Sharma was back to action as he featured for the India A side during the second unofficial ODI against Australia at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur. It is the same day when his sister was tying the knot with the businessman, Lovish Oberoi, in Amritsar, which is their hometown. After the end of the wedding, Komal spoke to the media and revealed that she had been missing her brother.

“It feels amazing. This is such a great day for me, I am tying the knot today. I am very happy and excited. I am missing my brother.” Said Komal. The southpaw batter also took to his Instagram to share a screenshot of their video call with her sister as he wore the Indian jersey on the same day.

Abhishek Sharma posted the pictures of attending her sister’s haldi function, but was in Kanpur on the wedding evening. However, he had a poor outing as he ended up with a golden duck, getting dismissed by Will Sutherland as they suffered a collapse and found themselves at 16/3. Tilak Verma and Riyan Parag somehow posted 246 runs on the board.
Abhishek was in excellent form throughout the Asia Cup 2025 as he finished as the leading run-getter of the event with 314 runs in seven outings, including three half-centuries at the best score of 75 runs. He, however, couldn’t put the same show in the final.
Abhishek is expected to get selected for the upcoming three-match ODI series against Australia down under. He could be the spare opener along with two strong contenders, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma, as they will start preparation for the World Cup 2027.
