Abhishek Sharma was dismissed for a mere seven runs off three deliveries in the Asian Games 2026 men’s cricket competition. Playing for Team India, the explosive left-hander faced Sri Lanka in the second semi-final held at Korogi Sports Park in Nisshin, Japan. Sri Lanka took the toss and chose to field first. India entered the semi-final as defending champions, while Sri Lanka aimed to reach the gold medal match.
Abhishek Sharma's dismissal comes after he had scored a sensational 108 runs off just 34 balls against Afghanistan, breaking a record with a heroics 30-ball century in the third T20I of India's series. The significance of India's semi-final against Sri Lanka is amplified, given that Pakistan has already secured their place in the final after defeating Bangladesh by six wickets in the first semi-final.
With Abhishek Sharma out early, India will now rely on their middle order to construct an innings and present a competitive total against Sri Lanka.
