Former Pakistan pacer Mohammad Amir sparked controversy by calling India's World No. 1 T20 batter Abhishek Sharma a "slogger" and questioning his technical ability. During a Pakistani TV discussion, Amir claimed Abhishek has high failure chances, scoring "once in 8 innings" with typical scores of "10, 15, 0, and 20." He suggested bowling on the body to exploit weaknesses and stated he'll consider Abhishek a proper batter only when he tackles swinging deliveries well. Fans reacted angrily on social media to Amir's remarks. Abhishek, currently recovering from a stomach issue that caused him to miss the Namibia game and lose 2kg weight, hasn't been ruled out of the upcoming Pakistan match.
