Abhishek Sharma: Dominating Pakistan Yet Again

The night’s hero was Abhishek Sharma, blasting 74 runs at a staggering strike rate. His words reflected the situation:

“Today was pretty simple. I think that the way they (Pakistani bowlers) were coming (rattling/bullying) to us without any reason, I didn't like at all and I thought that this is the only reason that I could give with my bat and obviously with the win towards my team and I think that's all was going through my mind and just wanted to deliver for my team.”
