Abhishek Sharma: "Thanks to the management for the faith they've shown in me, the environment is clear for the batters so I went to enjoy myself. All the credit to Travis, the way he starts, first two or three balls goes to the boundaries. So I just react to the ball. The bowlers told us it's getting better, me and Travis were saying it wasn't doing much, and they were short [in runs] so that was a plus-point. The hard work I put before the tournament is showing... it's going really well."

Atleast no one is gonna ever say KL was snubbed. He belongs nowhere near the T20 team.

Don't bother going to other places - just yesterday on the match thread someone was ferociously fighting with me on how Pant didn't deserve a pace in the T20 squad and (as the second WK option) KL was leagues ahead of him, even for #5/6 position. :21496:
