Yuvraj Singh claims, this player will be ready for Team India in 6 months

IPL 2024: The performance of young players during IPL 2024 has been quite excellent. In such a situation, some of these players can soon be seen playing for Team India. Meanwhile, Yuvraj Singh has said that there is one player who will be ready to play for Team India in the next 6 months. The player named by Yuvraj Singh is none other than Abhishek Sharma. Abhishek Sharma has batted brilliantly so far in this season of IPL. His strike rate this season has been amazing. Abhishek Sharma has scored 288 runs in eight matches this season and has been the second highest run scorer for his team Sunrisers Hyderabad.

What did Yuvraj Singh say?

While talking to Cricbuzz, Yuvraj Singh has said that Abhishek is almost ready for selection for Team India but I do not think he is ready for the World Cup yet. Yuvraj Singh has said this when the selection of Team India is going on for the T20 World Cup to be played in June. He has said that we will have to take an experienced team for the World Cup. Obviously some people have played for India. After the World Cup, he should be ready to play for India. This is what they should focus on. The coming six months will be very important for Abhishek.

Yuvraj Singh is already quite impressed with Abhishek Sharma's power hitting and strike rate of 218.18 this season. However, he believes that Abhishek Sharma will have to score some big scores to truly make his mark. His performance is definitely better. His strike rate has been amazing, but the big scores have not come. With a strike rate like this, it is important that you score big if you want to earn your place in the Indian team. Abhishek Sharma has hit 26 sixes and 21 fours this season. His shots at long-on and mid-wicket have been excellent, but Yuvraj wants him to master the art of strike rotation and learn how to play a good bowler.

Abhishek will have to improve

Yuvraj said that he has the ability to play big shots, the big sixes he is hitting are very good, but I think he has to learn to take singles and rotate the strike. He needs to learn to play the bowlers who are bowling well and target other bowlers, I think that aspect needs to be worked on. Yuvraj Singh has given a lot of time to improve Abhishek Sharma's batting and especially his technique.
