Abhishek Sharma got lifelines early on in the innings as all-rounder Glenn Maxwell and pacer Ben Dwarshuis dropped regulation catches at the Brisbane Cricket Ground, Woolloongabba, Brisbane, on Saturday, November 8.
In the T20I series opener, Abhishek scored 19 runs before scoring an exceptional 68 runs in the second match at MCG. He looked good in the third and fourth matches and registered scores of 25 and 28 runs.
First, Glenn Maxwell dropped Abhishek Sharma on the fifth ball of the first over. Ben Dwarshuis bowled a full-length delivery around off-stump to Abhishek, who looked to launch it down the ground for the six.
Then, on the third ball of the fourth over, Ben Dwarshuis himself dropped Abhishek. Nathan Ellis, who has had Abhishek's number, once again managed to trap him.
At the time of writing, the explosive opening batsman was unbeaten at 23 off 13 balls, with one four and one six, as the match was halted due to bad weather and rain in the city.

The batters need to give themselves before going after the bowling - Parthiv Patel
"We are at The Gabba, Brisbane, for the fifth and final T20I. There are some cracks in the middle. It is hard. The new ball fast bowlers will get some help. Even coverage of the grass. The ball will come onto the bat nicely. The batters need to give themselves before going after the bowling. Overall, a good surface for batting."
