Abhishek Sharma (135 runs from 54 balls, 7 fours and 13 sixes) displayed a stupendous knock in the first inning and propelled India to 247/9. The youngster was the standout batter for the Men in Blue on Sunday.

Speaking at the post-match presentation, Suryakumar said that it was a high-risk and high-reward game on Sunday but in the end, they got the result. The skipper lauded Abhishek Sharma’s “great” inning against England in Wankhede.

“It’s always about being a little instinctive on the ground, whoever you feel might do something, throw them the ball. This is what we’ve sat down and spoken about, what brand of cricket we want to play, and we want to keep sticking to it. It’s a high-risk, high-reward game, but at the end of the day, we’re getting the results. [On Abhishek:] I’m very happy for his family as well, they must have enjoyed his innings. It was great. [On Varun:] He’s been relentlessly working hard with our fielding coach Dilip sir, whenever he gets time in our practice sessions. Today he put his hand up and said he wants to field in the outfield, and you saw the results. He’s a process-oriented man [with the ball], always wants to work on something new,” Suryakumar Yadav was quoted by ESPNcricinfo as saying.

Bebaak player, Bebaak shatak! Abhishek Sharma 👏 💯
