Former India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin defended opener Abhishek Sharma after Mohammad Amir called him a 'slogger'. "You can say anything about his game, but he is not a slogger," said Ashwin. He praised Sharma's swing, saying, "He has probably got a better bat swing than Yuvraj Singh." Sharma's 55-run knock boosted India's T20 World Cup semifinal hopes.
