“I said that he is a bigger player than Yuvraj Singh”: Tanvir Ahmed on Abhishek Sharma
While speaking on a YouTube channel, Tanvir Ahmed recalled the moment when he stated that Abhishek Sharma is a greater player than Yuvraj Singh after the former came to the international circuit for the first time. Tanvir also mentioned that he never compared anyone; it is the Pakistani people and former cricketers who compare, as he believes that the eras are different and the comparisons are baseless.

Tanvir Ahmed said, “You might remember that when he (Abhishek Sharma) came to the team for the first time, I said that he is a bigger player than Yuvraj Singh. He has more talent than Yuvraj Singh. Why did I say this? I never compare. Our people (Pakistan) compare. Yuvraj Singh’s era was different. Abhishek Kumar’s era was different. Viv Richards’ time was different. Virat Kohli’s time was different.”
Tanvir Ahmed reveals what makes Abhishek Sharma different from Yuvraj Singh
Tanvir Ahmed further revealed that every batter in their era has gone on to become a legend of the game. The former Pakistan pacer revealed that Yuvraj Singh used to come down the order and used to take some time to settle, and then he used to charge against the spinners and the pacers. Yuvi has the world record of hitting six sixes in a T20I match.
The Pakistan pacer added, “Everyone comes at their own time, and he becomes a legend, a hero, and a superstar at that time. I spoke according to talent. Whenever Yuvraj Singh used to bat, he used to come down and, after getting set at the crease.”
“Then Yuvraj Singh used to hit the spinners and the fast bowlers. Yuvraj Singh has a world record of six sixes against Stuart Broad. But I said that his (Abhishek Sharma’s) backlift, his shots, or hitting with a new ball in the circle is not an easy task.”
Abhishek Sharma went berserk on Thursday
Abhishek Sharma went crazy on Thursday as he started smacking the Afghanistan bowlers all over the park. He and Sanju Samson scored 100 runs inside the powerplay for the first time for the Men in Blue without losing a wicket.
The Southpaw brought up his fifty in 16 balls, and in quick time he smashed the fastest hundred in a full-member T20I match in just 30 deliveries, surpassing the record of Sikandar Raza of 33 balls and also becoming the fastest India batter to score a hundred, beating Rohit Sharma’s 35-ball hundred record.
