His hard work paid off, as he went on to achieve remarkable success in the T20 format, with a strike rate of 196 and eight centuries under his belt by the age of 25.
During the lockdown in 2020, Abhishek honed his skills with the guidance of former cricketer Yuvraj Singh, who instilled in him the importance of fearlessness in the game. With a unique training method involving golf, Abhishek’s batting style became more powerful and efficient.
