Young Indian opener Abhishek Sharma had a great start to his innings in the ongoing Emerging Asia Cup encounter against the United Arab Emirates. The southpaw, who struck a blazing cameo against arch-rivals Pakistan, hammered UAE skipper Basil Hameed for two sixes and boundaries, helping India A collect 22 runs off his first over. 

The incident occurred during the second over of India A's innings after they restricted UAE to a paltry 107-run total. The Men in Blue had the worst possible start to their innings, with Omid Rehman uprooting Prabhsimran Singh's off-stump with a beauty. However, the right-hander's dismissal had a little impact on his opening partner Abhishek Sharma, who took on Hameed right from the word go. 

Known for his hard-hitting prowess, Abhishek Sharma stunned the off-spinner with his scintillating stroke-play. After playing a dot ball, the southpaw caressed Hameed's second ball through the covers for a glorious boundary. 


He followed it up with two massive sixes over the long-on before concluding the over with another boundary. Thus, he collected 22 runs through a boundary spree, emerging as India's wrecker-in-chief with the bat. 

Abhishek And Rasikh Headline India A's Dominance Over UAE

Earlier, ace speedster Rasikh Salam registered a clinical three-wicket haul, helping India bowl UAE out for 107 runs. Rahul Chopra was UAE's lone shining light, amassing a run-a-ball fifty with the help of two fours and three maximums. In response, India A have got a magnificent start to their innings, courtesy of Abhishek Sharma's fireworks. At the time of writing, India A were 81 for one, with Abhishek and Tilak Varma batting on 50* and 21*, respectively.
