"Yuvraj Singh was happy when I got out on a duck"- Abhishek Sharma's sensational accusations

Sunday was a memorable day for Abhishek Sharma as he went into the record books of the Indian cricket team. He became the fourth-youngest to score a T20I century for India and took the least number of innings.

He got to his hundred off just 47 balls as he scored his last 50 runs in just 13 balls. He got to his landmark with three consecutive sixes and became the first batter to do so.

Sharma made his T20I debut for India and was out for a duck. He made the most of his chances count in the second T20I with his aggressive style and counter-attacking display. He was chosen as the Man of the Match and in his post-match interaction he thanked his skipper Shubman Gill, coach VVS Laxman, and the entire support staff for backing him.

"We lost the match on Saturday. So after I got a good start I thought this might be my day. The positive was that we didn't have much time to think about the next game because it was on the next day. When I felt like I can take on a particular bowler I went for it. I came into a flow while batting and thus I wanted to go out there and express myself," said Abhishek.

He also spoke about his interaction with Ruturaj Gaikwad. The duo added a 137-run stand to give India a good platform for their final big score.

"I spoke to Rutu as well. He asked me to go for hit and hit the balls that were in my area and not to think much about the balls" added Abhishek.

The southpaw then revealed the reason behind playing with Shubman Gill's bat and how more often than not it has brought him success.

"This is going in since our U-14 days. Whenever I have played with his bat I have scored like I did today. Today also I want to tell everybody, I played with his bat only. It was difficult to get his bat as he does not give his bat easily. That is like my last option when I feel like I need to play with his bat to make a comeback. Special thanks to Shubman for giving me his bat. This was a much-needed innings for me and for the team as well" said Sharma.

He then spoke to his family and also with Yuvraj Singh on video call. His parents seemed very excited while talking to him. They had a big smile on their face after seeing their son succeed at the international level.
