As India opener Abhishek Sharma struggles to get his form back, the team’s bowling coach Morne Morkel wants him to recall his 54-ball 135 against England at the Wankhede Stadium on February 2 last year.
“He’s [Abhishek] not a guy who worries too much about technique. Normally, those sort of players take a lot more time to get into confidence. It’s a fresh page for him tomorrow [Thursday], an opportunity to go and do well. He has scored 100 here against England not so long ago. So, for him, it’s just about tapping into those little videos and looking at his feel-good moments and building a blueprint and knowing he’s starting on zero tomorrow,” Morkel said on the eve of India’s T20 World Cup semi-final at the Wankhede.
