Yuvraj, who played a crucial role in mentoring Abhishek during his early career in Chandigarh, couldn’t help but share a light-hearted anecdote that shows the young star’s deep attachment to his cricket bats.
“You can take anything away from Abhishek Sharma, but no one can take away his batYuvraj revealed with a chuckle during a recent interaction. He further described how Abhishek guards his bats with an almost comical sense of possessiveness:He will fight for it, even cry, but not give away his bat.”
According to Yuvraj, although Abhishek owns several bats, he often pretends to have fewer and makes excuses to keep them safe. “Even if he has ten bats, he will still say, “I only have two.” He’s taken all my clubs, but never gives his,Yuvraj joked, causing everyone present, including Abhishek himself, to laugh. 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.
