'Proud' Father Rajkumar Thanks Fans For Supporting Son Abhishek Sharma After Wankhede Heroics
Abhishek Sharma: Proud father and coach Rajkumar Sharma expressed his delight for son Abhishek Sharma, who broke a host of records in setting India's second-biggest win by runs in men's T20Is, and revealed that he witnessed his son's heroics on the television while the batter's mother and sister were in the attendance at Wankhede Stadium on Sunday.
At the Wankhede Stadium, Abhishek smashed 135 off 54 balls, which is the highest individual score for India in men's T20Is, going past Shubman Gill's 126* against New Zealand in 2023. The 24-year-old's 135-run knock is also the second-highest score by any batter against England, behind Aaron Finch's 156 in 2013.
"My daughter and wife were there (in Mumbai) to watch Abhishek batting live. I saw it on TV. It was really proud moment for us. I can't express my delight, thanks to everyone who supported him," Rajkumar, who is a former Ranji Trophy player, told IANS.
