“I was doing my job for the team. I go with the flow without thinking much. I like to go from the first ball of the match, but the wicket in Dubai was new, so Shubman Gill and I took time before hitting shots,” Abhishek Sharma told Sanjay Manjrekar.
The young player also opined on his style of play in the shortest of the game. “I bat according to the field and execute my shots after checking the placement of the fielders. It is not possible to just go out and start hitting the shots without checking the field placements. I work hard in the nets as I know my brand of cricket would bring failures as well. If I have to be aggressive in the middle, I have to work hard,” he added.
Abhishek was also phenomenal against Pakistan, accumulating a fifty in the team’s six-wicket win.
