The Indian team didn’t have a good start to their T20 World Cup 2026 Super 8s round. After going unbeaten during the group stage, India suffered a massive 76-run defeat to South Africa in their first game of Super 8s.
Now India finds itself at a crossroads when it comes to qualification for the semi-final of the tournament. But an even more serious thing for Gautam Gambhir and co. is the form of their dynamic opener, Abhishek Sharma.
Abhishek made three ducks in three games in the group stage before finally opening his account with 15 runs in the Super 8s game against South Africa. However, despite him getting into the runs, Abhishek faces calls for his omission ahead of India's crucial Super 8 fixture against Zimbabwe in Chennai.
While it is exceedingly doubtful that the team's administration would make such a "rational" decision, head coach Gautam Gambhir's impassioned conversation with Abhishek has supporters thinking.
In a popular video, Gambhir is seen having a heated one-on-one conversation with Abhishek, with assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate joining them later.
The fans speculated about what Gambhir might be saying to Abhishek and then to Ten Doeschate and had some hilarious theories.
