I did not know that I would bowl: Abhishek Sharma
Let us tell you that after the match between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals ended, during the post-match, Abhishek Sharma said – Honestly, I did not know that I would bowl in this match but I was quite prepared for my bowling, because I have been working hard on my bowling. My batting has been good in the last two years, so I wanted to work on my bowling with my father.
Abhishek further said- Pat Cummins used the spin bowlers well in the match. There was more turn in the second innings due to the absence of dew. But the pressure on the team increased because of me, so perhaps I got a chance to bring back the smile on the team. Shahbaz Ahmed also performed well in bowling.
