Yuvraj Singh reveals the secret of Abhishek Sharma
Yuvraj, who mentored Abhishek during his early career in Chandigarh, couldn’t help but share a light-hearted anecdote that captured the young star’s deep devotion to the cricket bat.
“You can take anything from Abhishek Sharma, but no one can beat him“Yuvraj broke out with a chuckle during a recent interaction. He went on to explain how Abhishek guarded his bats with an almost comical owner:”He will fight for it, even cry, but he will not give a bat“
According to Yuvraj, although Abhishek owns a lot of bats, he often claims that he owns fewer on the pretext of keeping them safe. “Even if he has 10 bats, he will still say “there are only two”. He took all my bats, but he never gives them to himself,Yuvraj joked, which elicited laughs from everyone, including Abhishek himself. This amusing revelation highlights the bond between mentor and student – not just one of cricket leadership, but one built on personal confidence, discipline and humour.
