Yuvi Paaji Always Told Me, ‘One Day You’ll Play For India And Win Matches’, Says Abhishek
But Yuvi Paaji: After being the star of India’s crushing 150-run win over England in the fifth T20I at Mumbai with his all-round efforts, Abhishek Sharma said the belief of playing for the national team came from former white-ball great Yuvraj Singh kept him going.
At the Wankhede Stadium, Abhishek powered his way to smashing 135 off 54 balls, the highest score made by an Indian batter in men’s T20Is. He was ruthless in his strokeplay to hit seven fours and 13 sixes at a strike-rate of 228.57 as India posted 247/9.
Abhishek went on to take a catch and pick two wickets with his left-arm spin as India bowled out England for just 97 and win the series with a 4-1 scoreline. "As a player, there are moments of doubt about whether you'll ever represent your country. But Yuvi Paaji (Yuvraj Singh) has always believed in me. He used to say, ‘One day, you’ll play for India and win matches, so I’m preparing you for that.’ That belief kept me going," said Abhishek to Disney+ Hotstar.
