T20 WC: Was Waiting For This Moment For Quite A Long Time Now, Says Abhishek Sharma
T20 World Cup: After hitting a blazing 55 as India posted a massive 256/4 against Zimbabwe in their Super Eight clash at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, left-handed opener Abhishek Sharma said he was waiting to have this moment in the tournament for quite a long time now and felt elated on making big runs for the defending champions.
Abhishek had made three ducks in the league stage and even missed the clash against Namibia due to a stomach infection needing hospitalisation in New Delhi. But his making a fifty off 26 – his first half-century in the T20 World Cup - will do him a world of good in India’s quest to enter the semi-finals.
“It’s always great when you contribute to the team, and I was waiting for this moment for quite a long time now, so finally it’s happening. I’m really happy. I would say it wasn’t that intentional (about slowing down), but I just wanted to spend some time at the pitch because if you see, I haven’t even played 10-12 balls in the whole tournament yet,” he told the broadcasters in the mid-innings chat.
