The young left-hander will be under pressure going into the series as another swashbuckling opener Yashasvi Jaiswal is waiting down the wings. Former India opener Aakash Chopra believes that Jaiswal won't let Abhishek breathe and will take the chances with both hands.
While speaking in a video on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra was satisfied with the way Abhishek Sharma has been given opportunities but feels that Yashasvi Jaiswal won't let him breathe and will make the most of his opportunities if he gets one.
The cricketer-turned-commentator further claimed that Abhishek Sharma hasn't made the most of his opportunities so far other than one good knock each in Zimbabwe and South Africa.
