Abhishek Sharma, who made a record fifty on 16 balls for Sunrisers Hyderabad, revealed his batting strategy. He told that it was beneficial to talk to Brian Lara about batting before the match. Batting partner Travis Head also got a lot of support.
With the help of Abhishek's fifty, SRH made the biggest score in IPL history against Mumbai Indians on Wednesday. The team scored 277 runs in 20 overs. Abhishek was out after scoring 63 runs, for this performance he received the Player of the Match award.
We get a lot of confidence from the domestic season – Abhishek
Abhishek Sharma said in the post match conference after the match, 'I have said this earlier also that playing domestic cricket gives a lot of benefits and confidence. While batting with Head, the message was simple that you have to express yourself by going on the pitch. The head said that if the ball is seen in the court then the shot has to be played, I also did the same.
I am happy with my opportunities, it is not necessary to get openings, I like to bat in every position. I had also chatted with Brian Lara before the match, talking to him gave me confidence. Even in the nets, I have now started concentrating on bowling more than batting, this is improving my focus.
Brian Lara is the former coach of SRH. After his departure, Daniel Vettori of New Zealand has taken over the post of coach of the team.
Parents came to watch the match, so batted well
Abhishek said, 'The secret of my performance is that my parents came to watch my match. He had not seen my match for a long time, yesterday when he came, I batted freely.
