Thanks to Yuvraj Singh and Brian Lara
On the basis of his short but explosive innings, Abhishek Sharma won the Player of the Match award in this match. During this time he said that while bowling we had realized that this wicket is a bit slow. In such a situation, we came to know that runs will have to be scored fast in the powerplay because after the ball gets old, it will come slower from the pitch. We had prepared much better before the start of this season. Big scores definitely matter but I wanted to maintain my momentum. Apart from my father, I especially want to thank Yuvraj Singh and Brian Lara.
