Yuvraj Singh, serving as mentor to Abhishek Sharma, praised the young cricketer but cautioned against complacency following his maiden T20I century for India against Zimbabwe. After a challenging start to his T20I career with a four-ball duck in his debut, Abhishek bounced back emphatically in the second match, scoring a rapid century that included seven fours and eight sixes.
Yuvraj took to social media to congratulate Abhishek on his achievement, emphasizing that success comes through consistent effort. Abhishek expressed gratitude towards Yuvraj for his guidance both on and off the field, attributing much of his development to Yuvraj’s mentorship over the past few years.
Reflecting on the match, Abhishek shared that he used Shubman Gill’s bat during his innings, a bat he turns to during challenging times to regain form. He acknowledged Gill’s support in providing the bat, which he felt was crucial in his comeback innings.
Abhishek highlighted his proactive approach during the match, focusing on scoring runs off deliveries he felt confident about rather than dwelling on previous outcomes. He credited Ruturaj Gaikwad for encouraging him to play freely and capitalize on scoring opportunities during the game.
