Abhishek Sharma reveals Yuvraj Singh’s message after scoring record ton against Afghanistan

Abhishek Sharma reveals Yuvraj Singh’s message Abhishek Sharma responded to the message from his mentor Yuvraj Singh in the best way possible, smashing a record century against Afghanistan in the third and final T20I in New Delhi on Thursday.The left-arm opener hit a 30-ball hundred, the fastest T20I century by an ICC Full Member nation. He also broke Rohit Sharma’s record for the fastest T20I century by an Indian. Abhishek ended up scoring 102 as India posted 221/7 to win the match by 127 runs.After being named the man of the match, Abhishek revealed that Yuvraj had sent him a message before the match advising him not to force shots and to alternate when the ball was not in his strike zone.“And in the last match, I only got a message from him that I shouldn’t force all the balls. Specifically in these conditions, if I take one or two singles in between, it’s not, you know, in my slot. I can take one too,” Abhishek told TV stations.“But obviously the sir always wants me to play long and I always think that when I start the team like that, of course when we’re on the winning side, I always think about that,” he added.The advice came at an important time for Abhishek, who was under pressure after a tough series in Zimbabwe. With India also looking for a settled opening combination, the left-hander needed runs to cement his position.
