‘Team believed in me when I didn’t’: Abhishek Sharma
He said the team believed in him even when he did not believe in himself. The Indian opener revealed that Indian coaches, the captain, and teammates stood by him during his worst days and that support was really crucial for him, calling the dressing room a family.
He added, “But the way teammates and coaches, they all just wanted me to do well. I think that was the best thing, one of the best feelings I had in all these previous days. It's actually meant like, you know, you are in a family only; it's not just a team. So you are that close with all of the teammates and all the coaches, like they actually want you to do well, and I was just waiting for this day.”
His journey in this tournament started on a tough note. The 25-year-old fell ill during the opening game against the USA in Mumbai. He had a high fever and still played but got out for a golden duck. He was admitted to the hospital, and then weakness forced him to miss the Namibia match.
