India vs Afghanistan: Abhishek Sharma made history in the third T20 match against Afghanistan. He has set the record for the fastest hundred in T20 international cricket among the full member nations by scoring a hundred in just 30 balls. Abhishek virtually dismantled Afghanistan’s bowling attack with devastating batting. His mentor and former star of Indian cricket, Yuvraj Singh, was full of praise after his brilliant performance.
Yuvraj is impressed with his debut innings
Yuvraj congratulated him with his X handle after his historic debut innings. He wrote, Congratulations to Abhishek for scoring the fastest T20I century. Yuvraj also said that he always had faith in Abhishek’s hard work and talent. At the same time, he reminded, this is just the beginning — Abhishek has many more records to break in the coming days.
‘Turn Stones into Milestones’
Yuvraj gave another important message for Abhishek. According to him, when people throw stones at someone, that stone has to be turned into a milestone. According to Yuvraj, Abhishek is doing just that and is responding with his performance with the bat. Yuvi also advised him to remain humble and follow his own process.
He gave ‘Gurumantra’ before the match.
Yuvraj also gave important advice to Abhishek before the third match against Afghanistan. His point was that one should not try to play big shots with every ball. Try to play big shots when the ball comes to your desired spot. And if the ball is not in the place of your choice, it is wise to take a single. In other words, apart from aggressive cricket, Yuvraj also emphasized on taking runs by understanding the situation.
Abhishek’s long innings on Yuvi’s head
Abhishek himself said that Yuvraj always wants him to play long innings. So when he comes to the field, he has to give a good start to the team. Abhishek has executed that plan perfectly against Afghanistan. Batting aggressively from the start, he took control of the match in the hands of India in a short time.
Not only Abhishek, Yuvi has more stars
Apart from Abhishek Sharma, Yuvraj Singh has coached several Indian cricketers. Shubman Gill and Prabhasimran Singh also trained from him. Apart from this, Rishabh Pant, Sanju Samson and Arjun Tendulkar have taken coaching from Yuvraj. As a result, Yuvraj’s role in batting skills and mental preparation of young cricketers has been discussed for a long time.
Abhishek’s storm of 108 runs
Abhishek played a fast innings of 108 runs off just 34 balls in the last match against Afghanistan. 9 fours and 11 sixes came from his bat. Due to his devastating batting, India scored 221 runs in 20 overs. In response, Afghanistan were all out for 94 runs in just 14.1 overs. As a result, India won the match by 127 runs and took the series by 3-0. The impression of Yuvraj’s ‘Gurumantra’ behind this innings of Abhishek is also clear.
