Former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh recently shared a hilarious behind-the-scenes story about his protégé Abhishek Sharmawho continues to make headlines for his explosive batting and quirky off-field habits. The left-handed opener, who recently broke a world record by becoming the fastest player (in terms of balls played) to reach 1,000 T20I runs, has now become the subject of a funny revelation from his mentor.

Abhishek achieved the remarkable milestone during the fifth T20I match against Australia at the Gabba in Brisbane. The 25-year-old reached the four-figure mark in just 528 balls – a record that cements his position among the most efficient run-scorers in the shortest format. He also emerged as the best run-getter of the series, with 163 runs in five matches, further strengthening India’s position in the T20I landscape.

This funny revelation highlights the bond between mentor and student – a bond built not just on cricket coaching, but also on personal trust, discipline and humor.
