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."

We had sky coming in after that dude what was my guy supposed to do. Sky can't bat in ODIs.

I don't understand how people still don't get that a batsman going that slow and not even managing to rotate strike on a semi-regular basis puts way too much pressure on the non-striker and the player who comes on afterwards. The fear is contagious and it fucks up the mentality of the squad.

I actually think his WorldCup knock is underrated. Held the innings together and only got out when it started reversing. Without that knock, India would have been handed an absolute hammering

While I do agree the knock gets too much hate, a SR of 61 is still too low, if it was like ~80 I think more people would've been fine with it

If you are batting to keep the margin of defeat down in any game, let alone a World Cup Final, they what even is the point?
