Arun Jaitley Stadium: Star left-handed opener Abhishek Sharma, whose explosive 32-ball 82 blew Afghanistan away in the T20I series opener at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, firmly reiterated that a brief lean patch will never shake India's aggressive batting ethos, stating that ‘one or two series won't define’ the side's fearless approach.
Abhishek's blistering 22-ball half-century laid the foundation for India's clinical seven-wicket win as the hosts made a mockery of a 157-run target, cruising home in just 13.4 overs. "Once you have decided, because I still remember two years back we decided we want to play in a certain way.
“We want to dominate all the teams throughout the whole year before the World Cup and things went pretty well for all the team, and especially for the batsmen as well. But I think one or two series won’t define our team as a batting unit, because the way we all think as a batting unit, it always makes a team first.
