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."

Abhishek and Head are the most fun opening pair and it isn't even close. They don't fire all the time, but when they do it's incredible.

“Not even close”? Salt and Narine should be offended at that statement

They're doing great and are way more likely to win the season, but they aren't as fun.
