Whenever they come, we have won the game one-sidedly. Even today, we won the contest one-sidedly. It is a special feeling when family members come,” he remarked. Talking with his captain, Abhishek also drew a personal connection between his innings and his father, Raj Kumar Sharma. “Today I remembered my dad because of the way you were standing and saying take one run, he used to do the same, sitting in front of the sight screen. That’s where I pay the most attention to. I am used to it, and you asked me two to three times to push for a single,” Abhishek told Suryakumar in the video.
