Former Zimbabwe cricketer and current Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) coach Andy Flower has said that Abhishek Sharma’s Sunday century has upped the competition for the top-order spots. “Well, we have got [Yashasvi] Jaiswal still coming into the series, have not we? So that sort of competition is exactly what the Indian selectors and all the Indian followers are looking for. It makes it really interesting and it’s great for the Indian game if they have got lots of options like that,” Flower, the former Zimbabwe captain, said on Sony Sports, according to an ANI report.

The report added: “Andy said that Abhishek should be confident after a great Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 and getting a century for India in only his second international game. ‘It is really important to get those runs as a young player because confidence and self-belief are so important to your chance of doing well. So I am very happy for him and I am looking forward to seeing more of him in this series,’ Flower elaborated.
