Indian cricket captain Suryakumar Yadav has confidently dismissed fears surrounding the current form of opener Abhishek Sharma. As the Twenty20 World Cup intensifies, Yadav reassures that his squad is equipped to cover for Sharma, who is globally recognized for his batting prowess, until he returns to form.

Sharma, who has previously delivered stellar performances including two centuries and eight fifties, has found challenges recently, not scoring in the ongoing tournament and being sidelined with a stomach infection. Yadav, however, emphasizes the potential threat Sharma poses to opposing teams once he starts hitting runs again.

Despite Sharma's current struggles, India's team dynamics, featuring a flexible batting order starting from the third position, have proved effective in adapting to game demands. The strategy aims to keep the team competitive as they progress to the Super Eight stage, with a continued focus on optimal performance.
