After smashing a 46-ball century against Zimbabwe in what was only his second T20I, Abhishek Sharma said that he kept belief in his hitting ability despite getting out for a duck on his T20I debut on Saturday. Abhishek announced his arrival on the big stage as his 100 took India to a massive total of 234 before the bowlers bundled Zimbabwe out for 134 in a crushing 100-run victory for the Men in Blue.

“I feel like if it’s your day, you express yourself. After the drop, I thought it was my day and had to take responsibility,” said Abhishek, who was named as the man-of-the-match. .

“Rutu helped me in keeping perspective. I always believe in my (hitting) ability. It’s about momentum for me. If it’s in the arc, I believe I need to hit it over regardless of when it is,” he added.

The opening batsman also praised the team’s ability to bounce back from a setback just a day before.

“It was a good performance after the defeat yesterday. We didn’t have much time to lament. I felt that T20 is all about the momentum, and thought it was my day today. Special thanks to the coaches and captain for keeping confidence (in me),” Abhishek said.
