T20 WC: Abhishek Reveals He Batted With Shivam Dube’s Bat, Says 'felt Like Trying Something Different'
T20 World Cup: India's left-handed opener Abhishek Sharma credited teammate Shivam Dube for helping him rediscover his form in the 2026 Men’s T20 World Cup final, revealing that he used the all-rounder bat during his blistering knock of 52 off 21 balls that set up India’s emphatic 96-run triumph over New Zealand at the Narendra Modi Stadium.
"I batted with Shivam Dube’s bat, so thank you, Dube. In the morning, I felt like trying something different. Shubman (Gill) was not around, so I walked up to Dube and picked his bat," said Abhishek to reporters in a post-match press conference.
Apart from dealing with a stomach infection and its aftereffects, Abhishek had struggled through the tournament with just 89 runs in the run-up to the decider. But on Sunday, he turned the tide with a 21-ball 52, including getting his fifty in 18 balls and laid the foundation for India to lift their third Men’s T20 World Cup title.
