‘I will send a chappal’:Abhishek Sharma’s hilarious reply to Yuvraj Singh after record-breaking knock; Gautam Gambhir praises Indian opener’s T20 approach

India's latest T20 sensation, Abhishek Sharma, delivered a breathtaking performance in the fifth and final T20I against England in Mumbai. The young opener smashed a blistering 54-ball 135, helping India secure a massive 150-run victory. His incredible innings caught the attention of his mentor and former Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh, who took to social media to praise Abhishek. Yuvraj Singh’s praise and Abhishek’s witty reply Yuvraj Singh, one of India's finest middle-order batters, shared a post on X (formerly Twitter) appreciating Abhishek’s brilliant knock. "Well played @IamAbhiSharma4! That's where I want to see you! Proud of you," Yuvraj posted. Responding to the praise, Abhishek made a hilarious remark, referencing an inside joke between them. "I think this is the first time Yuvraj has tweeted something without adding 'I will send a chappal.' Finally, he is proud of me. So I'm very happy," Abhishek joked after the match. Gautam Gambhir lauds Abhishek’s stunning century India’s head coach, Gautam Gambhir, was full of praise for the young batter’s outstanding performance. He went on to call it the best T20 hundred he has ever seen. "I haven't seen a better T20 hundred than Abhishek’s against bowlers consistently clocking 140-150 kph. When results go your way, everything falls into place. Our players know what it means to represent 140-150 crore Indians," Gambhir said after the match. Gautam highlights the new T20 approach Gambhir also highlighted India’s new aggressive approach in T20 cricket and emphasized the importance of fearless batting. "For me, having Bishnoi and Varun bowling in tandem was really important. We want to try as hard as possible with the bat. It’s about the top seven going hard. There is no fixed batting order apart from the openers, and that’s what T20 cricket is all about," he added. India’s future in T20 cricket With players like Abhishek Sharma stepping up and embracing an aggressive style of play, India’s approach in T20 cricket is evolving rapidly. Gambhir reiterated the team's commitment to entertaining cricket and high-risk, high-reward batting. "We want to play as aggressively as we can in ODIs too and entertain the crowd," Gambhir concluded. Abhishek’s stunning performance and witty response to Yuvraj’s praise have made him a fan favourite, and his future in Indian cricket looks incredibly promising.Original Article
