How A Random Wake-Up Thought Spurred Abhishek To Smash Record-Breaking Hundred

It was a 'random' thought Abhishek Sharma wrote in his diary that led him to smash the highest individual score by an Indian in the IPL. Sharma raised the power-hitting bar with a sensational 141 off 55 balls as Sunrisers Hyderabad made short work of the 246-run target set by Punjab Kings to end to their four match losing streak on Saturday. Sharma categorically spoke about the role played by mentor Yuvraj Singh and India's T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav in keeping him in good spirits when the runs were not flowing from his bat. We need to improve our dot ball percentage Punjab Kings did not bowl enough dot balls on a belter of a wicket and not being able to take half chances cost them the match, said spin bowling coach Sunil Joshi. The dot ball percentage could prove to be the difference in the middle overs and we could not latch on our half chances," said Joshi.
