During a chat on bcci.tv after the game, Abhishek revealed he borrowed Captain Shubman Gill's bat for this game, and that did wonders for the opener, though not for the first time. Abhishek and Gill are close friends and have grown up together, having played junior level and Under-19 cricket since. With both playing for India now, Abhishek admitted every time he plays with Gill's bat, he scores runs. The left-handed batter said this has happened even in the IPL, with his outing in his second India game being the latest example.   Meanwhile, on his debut in the first match, Abhishek got out on a duck but made a stunning comeback with his maiden international hundred in the next. "This has been going on since Under-14 cricket. Whenever I have played with his bat, I've done well. I want to tell everyone that even today (on Sunday), I played with his bat, which wasn't an easy task. It's my last option for a comeback. Special thanks to him for lending me his bat on time," Abhishek said in a video shared by BCCI. "It had happened in the IPL as well. Today was no exception as it went well as it usually happens," Abhishek added. Yuvraj lauds Abhishek A four-ball duck in the first T20I might be disappointing for Abhishek, but not for his mentor and one of India's greatest match-winners, Yuvraj Singh. Abhishek said after the first match, he spoke with Yuvraj on the phone, and instead of the India veteran scolding him for playing a careless shot, he lauded his beginning, saying it was a good start to his career. However, Abhishek credited Yuvraj for putting in the hard work and guiding him to the right path, which led to his India call-up. "Very proud. Well done. You deserve it. Many more to come. This is just a start," Yuvraj said to Abhishek as revealed by him. "I spoke to him yesterday, and he said, I don't know why, but he was very happy when I was out on zero. He said that's a good start. I think he must be very proud of me just like my family. "I am playing at this level because of him. The hard work he has put on me. For the past two-three years he has really worked hard not only on my cricket even off the field as well," the 22-year-old added. WATCH VIDEO -
