Abhishek Sharma falls for 19 before rain stops India’s charge at 43/1

Canberra: New sensation Abhishek Sharma was dismissed for 19 after getting a start as India reached 43 for 1 in five overs when steady drizzle stopped play in the first T20I against Australia here on Wednesday.

Abhishek was dismissed by Nathan Ellis as the Indian, having already hit four boundaries, failed to clear the mid-off fielder.

Vice-captain Shubman Gill (16 batting) and Suryakumar Yadav (8 batting) were at the crease with the Indian skipper hitting a glorious six over square leg.
