Abhishek Sharma reveals mentor Yuvraj Singh was happy with the batter’s debut duck against Zimbabwe
Abhishek also said he had used the bat of his childhood friend Shubman Gill, the captain of the current Indian team.
Abhishek Sharma made a swift recovery at the Harare Sports Club on Sunday. His explosive hundred in the second game banished the low of bagging a duck on his debut. Before being dismissed for 100 off 47 balls by Wellington Masakadza after smashing eight sixes and seven fours, Abhishek revealed he had used the bat of his childhood friend Shubman Gill, the captain of the current Indian team.
Shubman Gill’s bat powers Abhishek Sharma’s century
“Ye U-14 se chal raha hai. Jab bbhi mai uske bat se khela hun acha hua hai (I am doing this since our U-14 days, whenever I play with his bat I do well),” Abhishek told BCCI.tv.
“I want to tell everyone that I played with his bat only. It is very difficult to get a bat from him, he doesn’t give away that easily. It is my last option, when I need that comeback I ask him for his bat. He gave me his bat very timely, it was a much-needed innings for me and for the team as well,” he said.
