Vijay Hazare Trophy 2018: 10 players to watch out for

#8 Abhishek Sharma

Abhishek will hope to draw inspiration from Yuvraj Singh and Harbhajan Singh

Slow-left arm orthodox spinner Abhishek Sharma proved to be a vital cog for the Indian team in the middle overs as his clever mix of variations yielded important wickets at crucial junctions.A constant presence in the Indian setup, the young spinner's understanding of situations came to the fore as he mixed his pace and length fabulously well to arrest the easy flow of runs. From 6 matches, he picked 6 wickets at an outstanding average of just 16.00 and an economy of 3.91.

A capable batsman down the order, he made valuable contributions in the middle order including an important half-century against Bangladesh in the quarter-finals.

Come February 5th, the youngster will be rubbing shoulders alongside the likes of Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh, and Mandeep Singh when he wears the Punjab colors for the first time in the tournament.
