Arshdeep Singh’s Witty Comment Goes Viral After Abhishek Sharma’s Rare Dismissal

Indian cricketer Arshdeep Singh has captured attention on social media following a humorous remark directed at teammate Abhishek Sharma after a rare failure during the second 50-over match against Australia A. The match took place at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur, where Sharma was dismissed for a duck by Jack Edwards on the very first ball he faced.

In a video that has since gone viral, Arshdeep playfully commented that Abhishek’s “doppelganger” had shown up during the game. This light-hearted moment in the dressing room occurred as Sharma prepares for a potential call-up to the ODI squad for the senior team’s upcoming tour of Australia. Notably, Abhishek chose to skip his sister’s wedding to participate in this match, underscoring his commitment to the sport.

Abhishek Sharma’s Performance in Asia Cup 2025

Despite the setback against Australia A, Abhishek Sharma recently enjoyed a stellar performance during the Asia Cup 2025, where he played a crucial role in India’s successful campaign. The 25-year-old left-hander was named Player of the Tournament for his impressive tally of 314 runs across seven matches, boasting an average exceeding 40. His standout performance came against Pakistan, where he scored an explosive 74 runs off just 39 balls during the Super 4 fixture in Dubai.

India’s dominance over Pakistan was a highlight of the tournament, with the team achieving a hat-trick of victories, including the final. Although Abhishek had a rare off day in the final, teammate Tilak Varma stepped up, scoring an unbeaten 69 runs off 53 deliveries. This partnership helped India chase down a target of 147 runs, recovering from a precarious position of 20 for 3.

As the cricketing world looks ahead, India is set to embark on a tour of Australia starting on October 19. The tour will include three One Day Internationals and five Twenty20 Internationals, presenting an opportunity for players like Abhishek to shine on the international stage once again.
