Amritsar/Kanpur: India’s World No. 1 T20 batsman, Abhishek Sharma, who had returned to India on September 29 after scoring a tournament-high 314 runs in the Asia Cup and playing a key role in India becoming champions, was eagerly waiting for his sister Komal Sharma’s wedding. However, he ended up facing a disappointment he may never forget.
Although he attended all pre-wedding functions like the haldi and sangeet, Abhishek skipped the wedding day itself to fulfill his national duty, playing a cricket match in Kanpur instead — where he was dismissed on the very first ball (a golden duck).
On Friday, October 3, in Kanpur, India A lost to Australia A. Abhishek was caught out on the very first ball bowled by Jack Edwards, a 25-year-old Australian pacer who is relatively unknown in India.
In the same match:
Prabhsimran Singh scored only 1 run.
Asia Cup final hero against Pakistan, Tilak Varma, scored 94 runs.
India posted 246 runs, but due to rain interruptions, Australia was given a revised target of 160 runs in 25 overs, which they chased down with just one wicket lost.
Back in Amritsar, Komal Sharma got married to a young man named Lovish on the same day. The wedding ceremony was vibrant and attended by many guests. The bride and groom were dressed in their best, guests wore traditional attire, and all rituals were carried out with great enthusiasm. But amidst all the celebration, superstar Abhishek Sharma was missing.
Those unaware of his absence were eagerly expecting to see him, but when they learned he wouldn’t attend, many were disappointed. His sister Komal became emotional due to her brother’s absence on such a big day.
